moving home with a toddler?
any tips on how to make this an easy transition for my 18 month old girl? we arent moving out of town just to a different part, just the house will be dfferent. how did your toddler take to their new room? any tips?
also any tips on keeping her occupied whilst i do the decorating etc? im also a single parent so i have no help in this or anyone to watch her:) thanks!!
I moved when Bella was 14 months, I am also single and I didn’t have anyone to watch her. I did, however, have some vacation days. Because of that I took 2 days off and moved midweek while she was at daycare. Day 1 was moving, day 2 was unpacking and shopping
The way it worked out, she left for school from one home and came home that night to the new place. She loved the new place and spent the first few days exploring and playing in boxes.
She even adjusted very well to her new room, sleeping in there the 2nd night.
Good Luck and have fun with your move!!
i’m not a parent, but i do work with kids. My opinion is that your little girl will love running around in the new place, but try to set up her room first if you can so she has her toys and her comfort zone right away…but as far as keeping her occupied, perhaps get some art projects, a new DVD for her to watch…i’m not sure what level she’s at, but maybe you could let her help you a little with the unpacking. but something new is always exciting for kids! good luck!!

it’ll be much harder for you to adjust. tips- barney, lots of movies, timing for naps and bedtime.
