Helping Children Say Goodbye Before You Move Abroad

Leaving friends, family and a familiar school can be the hardest part of a move for a child. Give them time to say goodbye in their own way. A small leaving party, a photo book of friends or a last visit to a favourite park can all help.

Help them keep in touch after the move, too. Older children may want to swap phone numbers or set up video calls. Younger ones might like to send drawings or postcards. Knowing they can still talk to friends makes the move feel less final.

Be honest that it is fine to feel sad. Children pick up on how their parents feel, so try to stay calm and positive. Talk about the good things ahead, but let them share their worries without being rushed.

Keeping Routines Going on Moving Day

Moving day can be busy and noisy, which some children find upsetting. If you can, arrange for younger children to spend the day with a friend or family member while our team packs and loads. Older children may like to help with small jobs or watch the lorry being filled.

Keep meals and bedtimes as normal as you can, both on the day and in the first week in your new home. Pack a first-night box with pyjamas, a night light, snacks and a favourite book. We can unload the children's boxes first, so their rooms are ready before bedtime.

Our packing service can take care of the whole house, which frees up your time to look after your children rather than wrap plates.

Settling Children Into Their New Country

Once you arrive, set up the children's rooms first. Familiar bedding, toys and pictures on the wall help a new house feel like home. Then explore the area together, finding the local park, shops and school route before term starts.

Look for clubs and activities that match what your children enjoyed at home, such as sports, music or scouts. These are a good way to make friends quickly. Many cities also have groups for families who have just moved from abroad.

If your new home is not ready when you arrive, we can keep your things in secure storage until it is. That way, the children's things arrive all at once in a home that is ready for them.

Packing a Family Home for a Move Abroad

A family home holds a lot of things, from cots and bikes to school books and craft boxes. Sort each child's room early and decide what to keep, sell or give away. Children grow fast, so there is little point shipping clothes and toys they have outgrown.

Pack each child's room into boxes marked with their name and a colour or sticker they choose. This makes unpacking quicker and gives them a sense of ownership. Keep school reports, health records and birth certificates in a folder that travels with you, not on the lorry. Our team can take apart bunk beds, cots and wardrobes and put them back together in the new home, so the children's rooms feel familiar from the first night.

Moving Abroad with Children: Your Questions Answered

When is the best time to tell my children we are moving abroad?

Tell them early, once your plans are firm. Children cope better when they have time to get used to the idea and say goodbye to friends. Use simple words, explain why you are moving, and let them ask questions. Showing them photos of the new home and town can help.

Should my children's toys go on the removal lorry or with us?

Pack a small bag of favourite toys, books and comforters for each child to keep with you on the trip. Everything else can go on the lorry. We label children's boxes clearly, so their rooms can be set up first. A familiar bed and toys help them settle quickly.

Is it better to move abroad during the school holidays?

Many families choose the summer holidays, as children can start at the new school at the start of the year with everyone else. A move in term time can work too, but it helps to speak to the new school early about places, start dates and any records they need.

Can our children help with packing for the move?

Yes, and it often helps them feel part of the move. Let older children pack and label a box of their own things. Younger ones can choose which toys to keep with them. Our packers can then handle the heavy and fragile items, so the job is still done safely.

I recently used Elite Moving to move all my belongings from the UK to Italy, and I couldn’t be happier with the entire experience. From start to finish, their service was professional, efficient, and incredibly friendly.

The communication throughout was excellent — they kept me informed at every stage of the process and were always quick to respond to any questions I had. The team handled my items with great care, and everything arrived safely and right on time.
