Moving with an Infant or Toddler

May 16, 2011

Generally infants and toddlers tend to handle a move better than an older sibling.  However, children this age really pick up on their parents’ anxiety and stress levels.   An infant will become more fussy and demanding in the few weeks preceding and following a move.  The best thing that you can do is to remember to hold and play with your child despite the pressures and deadlines involved with moving.  Keep routines as normal as possible and any security objects such as blankets or favorite toys near by.
