    Default Ideas on how to help dd with house move?

    So finally after 6 months we finally look like we might be moving house in around 2 weeks (only found out today). I'm not sure of the best way to help my dd (4 years old) understand and adjust to this. We're on holiday next week, not really relevant but it might provide an opportunity to talk about it when we're all relaxed. The new house is not far away and she won't have to change schools thankfully, she's only just settling in, but it's her first house move and she wasn't keen to leave "our little house" at first. She's been to the new house and likes it, we keep talking about how good things will be and such. What else can I do to help prepare her for the move? Also I have two 2 year old mindees who have been coming here since they were tiny, it will be a change for them too.

    When we moved house dd was 5 and ds 3, they too didn't need to change schools as we had put them in the school by the house we
    were going to.

    Just keep reminding her that all of her things are going with her and perhaps she could choose the wall paper in her new bedroom,
    but one thing, it didn't occur to me at the time we bought new curtains for bedrooms and left childrens old ones at the house, years
    later dd told me she really wanted to take the curtains with her and it had upset her they were left.

    good luck and I'm sure she will be fine
    Cath
