A Guide to Helping Your Kids with a Relocation to Colorado Springs
A Great Chance to Grow as a Family
Relocation to Colorado Springs can be a stressful affair. Selling or renting your home, shipping belongings, saying bye to friends and family, leaving your job and worrying about life and work in the new city are but a few of the pressures one feels before and during and even after your relocation to Colorado Springs.
What about your children?
One area of concern for parents is the. Relocation with children doubles the stresses and worries for most adults. Adults find relocation traumatic or at least unsettling, so imagine how a child feels. Fear, sadness and anxiety are all symptoms of relocation for children.
It is critical for parents to make the relocation process as pain free as possible for children. Children must be made to feel in the relocation and be made fully aware of where they are going. By being part of the relocation a child feels more involved and informed and thus reduces their levels of tension and fear.

Some tips for parents on how to help their children enjoy the relocation process:
Explain the relocation to Colorado Springs by talking the children through the relocation process.
- Why are we moving?
- When?
- How?
- Will we come back?
- Where will they live?
- What about their friends?
Involve the children let your children help where they can by looking at brochures for apartments or houses, potential schools, picking removal companies and packing. Another idea is to arrange a Colorado Springs themed good-bye party for friends and family.
Personal Possessions if your children are attached to certain things such as a pet, toy, book, clothes or blanket make sure you take them with you.
If you can, let you children keep these items with them while they go through the relocation to Colorado Springs process. This makes the new home seem more familiar right away.
Learn about the city you are moving to. Make an effort to teach the children as much as you can about their new home in imaginative ways. Show them pictures, books, and brochures. I suggest buying a Colorado Springs 
themed t-shirt or hat to help with the move. Or make a picture of Pikes Peak for them to color so they can get to know Colorado Springs. Or get them pictures of Garden of the Gods. The more they learn the less they fear the relocation. Make Colorado Springs familiar and they will feel at home there.
We have created a page on Zazzle that has some of the images from this site turned into Colorado Springs gear. They are a great custom design company. The interface they use is quite user-friendly. It is really easy to design your own products.
Another great company is Cafe Press. They have a great gallery of Colorado Springs oriented products.
