9.1.Moving at any time of year is difficult,but if you have a flexible schedule and are not on a specific timeline,there are several factors to consider when deciding when to move.Keep in mind that these factors could also be part of a negotiation deal with your employer if you are being relocated or if starting a new position.
2.If you have children at home,it is best to work around the school calendar.Summer is an ideal time,as children have completed another grade and have said their goodbyes to school feiends.Planning to move directly following the end of school,however,does not give your children time to adapt to the idea of moving,to say boodbye to neighborhood friends and their home.When setting the date,allow a few weeks at the new destination for children to unpack and meet new neighborhood friends.They will be better prepared for the school year if they have time to make their new house their home.Too much change can be detrimental to performance and emotional well-being.
3.What works best for your children alwo works best for you.As part of the settling in process,take a few days for you and your children to check out the new school,meet some teachers and find appropriate transportation.Buth you and your children will be better prepared,leading to a smoother transition.
4.When possible,avoid moving before major holidays,such as Christmas,since part of such holidays is being with family and friends.Birthdays,and other family events can also be dif-ficult.Cive yourself enough time in your new place before the holiday season begins to meet new people and feel a sense of community.Better yet,save your move for immediately follow-ing a holiday.Holidays provide a perfect opportunity for good-byes and final get-togethers.
5.Most people would agerr that summer is the best time to move.Children are out of school,the weather is almost guar-anteed to be perfect and friends are available to help.If this is your ideal time to move,make sure you check moving company schedules and rates before confirming your move date.Most companies have peak times and will charge higher rates accord-ingly.Also,if you are planning to move at peak times,you will need to be better organized to ensure that a moving compa-ny or a moving truck is available for the date and times you re-quire.Keep in mind that the level of the service often changes between the summer months,when students replace full-time experienced movers,and off-season.
6.As much as summer could cost you more,winter,as com-mon sense indicates,is also not an ideal time to move.Travel is difficult,both for you and your family,along with the mov-ing company.Items dept overnight in a truch under feezing comditions may result in damaged goods.If you are moving from one climate to another,water damage may occur when the mode of transport that is moving your household items travels from a cold environment to a warmer climate.Freex freezing and tha-wing cause the most damage if items are not properly sealed.
