Moving to a new place is a big adventure where kids can start fresh at a new school—but many children might not see it that way. They are leaving their friends behind and the task of finding a group to fit into can be daunting, especially if you're moving mid-school year. As your premier Milwaukee movers, the professionals at Capital City Transfer know how tough moving can be on children. To help, we've put together a list of top three tips to help your child transition happily to a new environment.

1. Talk to the school – We mean more than just enrolling your child and letting the school know when you'll be arriving. Let your child tag along and meet some of his/her future teachers. This will lessen the stress of the first day. If your child has trouble with certain subjects, let those teachers know as well. Everyone benefits when the teachers knows more about your child and their needs.

2. Get them involved – The easiest way for a child to make friends is by hanging out with other children outside of the classroom. Encourage after school activities that your child likes or shines in, this allows them to comfortably focus on something familiar while socializing and making friends.

3. Communicate – Talk to your child about his/her concerns and address them supportively. Make sure they know they can tell you if anything is bothering them at school. You should also talk regularly with teachers to make sure your child's education is on track and if they see any signs of trouble with bullies.
