Moving can feel overwhelming — especially when kids are involved! Between packing boxes, changing schools, and keeping everyone calm, it’s easy to feel like your to-do list never ends. The good news? With a little planning, patience, and the right moving company by your side, your family can make this transition smooth and even fun.

At Big Burns Moving , we’ve helped countless Florida families relocate with ease — from Tampa Bay to Clearwater and beyond — and we know what works best when moving with kids.

Before the Move: Prepare and Involve Your Kids

1. Talk about the move early – Explain the reason for moving, show them pictures of the new house, and let them share their feelings. Kids feel calmer when they understand what’s happening.
2. Make it exciting – Show them nearby parks, fun local spots, or cool things about your new neighborhood.
3. Declutter together – Turn packing into a family project! Let your kids help decide which toys or clothes to keep or donate.
4. Pack a “first-night” box – Include pajamas, toothbrushes, favorite snacks, and a few toys. This will make your first night in the new home cozy and stress-free.

During the Move: Keep Things Calm and Organized

1. Stick to routines where possible – Keep familiar mealtimes and nap schedules to help kids feel secure.
2. Assign age-appropriate jobs – Older kids can help label boxes or pack their room, while younger ones can decorate moving boxes with stickers.
3. Keep essentials handy – Have a small bag with snacks, games, wipes, and a change of clothes for each child.
4. Work with professionals – Partnering with a reliable moving company like Big Burns Moving ensures your family stays focused on what matters while experts handle the heavy lifting.

After the Move: Settle In and Create New Memories

1. Unpack kids’ rooms first – Familiar surroundings bring instant comfort.
2. Explore your new area together – Visit nearby playgrounds, ice-cream shops, or libraries to help your kids feel at home.
3. Establish new routines – Quickly return to consistent schedules for meals, bedtime, and family time.
4. Celebrate your move – Order pizza, take a family walk, or host a movie night to make your first evening special.
