While the first day in your new home may be an exciting one for your kids as they run around claiming spaces, rooms and bathrooms as their own, they may change their tune when it comes to the first night. That new bedroom they called ‘dibs’ on earlier in the day, may seem a little unsettling once the lights go out. To ease the transition from their old room to their new room, try these little tricks:
Unpack Their Rooms First
While you may be anxious to get your new kitchen in order, for your own sanity unpack your kids’ rooms first. Once the question of who gets what bedroom is decided, the quicker you can help them make it theirs, the better. In fact with a little luck, your kids will hide out there for a good part of the day organizing their toys, books and clothes.

Your kids can literally build the fort of their dreams and call it home for one (or maybe a few!) nights. You can pack it with pillows, blankets, toys and stuffies, and it will be like camping in the living room! Visit them periodically with a few snacks and drinks, and they’ll be living like kings and queens. Read more:
