With many years of Real Estate experience here are some tips I have found very useful to help your children deal with moving.
 
Start by making a scrapbook of photographs of the old home, neighborhood, school, church, friends, family and going away parties. Assure them that you won't forget their friends. Have a good-bye … (3 comments)
