What should I do about the kids?

For some children the prospect of a new school, new friends or even a new bedroom can be daunting.

  • Talk to your children about your move and get them used to the idea well in advance.

  • Involve your children in the planning process

  • Help them learn about the new community where they will be living.

  • Let them be honest with you about how they’re feeling.

  • Try explaining the concept of moving to young children by play-acting with dolls, boxes and a truck.

Above all, keep your children safe on the moving day and reassure your children that you’re not going to leave them behind! To assist your children, Trans International can arrange for parent information written by psychologists and teachers.

How can I manage to get it all done in time?

Are packing materials the same from each removals company?

Can Trans International help us settle into our new home?

Included in our standard move is unpacking to bench tops if you wish, but there are additional unpacking services you can choose from, such as making the beds, linen being placed into cupboards, crystal being wash and placed into appropriate cabinets, setting up your kitchen, picture hanging all types of services that help you enjoy your new home and location sooner.
