Shawn, Chris and Gio were Excellent!! They work hard all day went to a warehouse first and then to the Town Home on second floor! They carefully handle things all the time and they took care as they were their own!! I completely recommend Kentuckiana Moving!

Ross, Ty, Corn, Brandon and Shawn are the best. They were fast and efficient. They had to move it into a storage unit. Quite a few people said it wouldn’t all fit but they packed that unit expertly to the very brim. I’ll update in a few months when they have to move it all to the new house.

Dakota, Scott, and Coleman were a great group of guys to get us moved to our new place! They kept us informed and showed up on time. Super efficient and even managed to get everything we wanted moved plus some other items in one trip! Saved us some time and kept all of our stuff safe. Would recommend and definitely will use again if we move.

"Moving isn’t just about getting from point A to point B—it’s about turning a new house into a home. At Kentuckiana Moving, we make sure the journey is as smooth as the destination." – Jonathan Richards, Owner of Kentuckiana Moving
Moving with kids can be both an exciting and challenging experience. While a new home offers the chance for a fresh start, it can also create anxiety and stress, especially for young children who may struggle with change. However, with a bit of planning and the right approach, you can make the process enjoyable and even fun for the whole family.
This guide provides expert tips to help you plan a stress-free move with kids, from organizing and packing their belongings to keeping them engaged and comfortable on moving day. Plus, we’ll highlight how Kentuckiana Moving stands out as a family-friendly moving partner, dedicated to making your move as smooth as possible for you and your children.
Moving is a big change, and children often find it challenging to adapt to new environments. They may feel nervous about leaving familiar surroundings, friends, or even their rooms. Taking extra steps to involve them in the process, maintain routines, and make the experience fun can go a long way in helping them adjust.
Kentuckiana Moving understands the unique needs of families. With years of experience moving families across Kentucky and Indiana, they have developed strategies to ease the stress of moving with kids, allowing parents to focus on helping their children feel comfortable with the transition.
Involve Kids in the Process Early On
Letting kids be a part of the moving process can help them feel more in control and excited about the change. Talk to them about the move as soon as possible, explaining why the family is moving and what they can expect. Answer their questions openly and encourage them to share their feelings.
Consider showing them pictures of the new home, discussing which room will be theirs, or exploring local parks or schools if possible. This helps make the idea of moving less daunting.
Create a Moving Countdown Calendar
Kids thrive on routines and predictability, so a countdown calendar can help them understand what’s happening and when. Mark the moving day and add fun milestones leading up to it, like "packing toy day" or "visit the new house day."
A countdown calendar allows them to feel involved and excited as the big day approaches, rather than feeling surprised or anxious about an abrupt change.
Pack a Special Box for Each Child
Give each child a box they can decorate and fill with their favorite toys, books, and personal items. Label it with their name and let them choose a few items that they want to have close by during the move. This “special box” will not only help keep them engaged but will also ensure they have comfort items readily available in the new home.
Kentuckiana Moving provides high-quality packing materials that are safe for kids to use and offers packing guidance to help families prepare. Letting kids personalize their boxes also gives them a sense of control and makes the process more enjoyable.
Prepare a Moving-Day Bag with Essentials for Each Child
Moving day can be long, so pack a bag for each child with essential items like snacks, water, a change of clothes, and any favorite toys or comfort items. Include electronic devices with headphones for entertainment if they enjoy movies or games.
This moving-day bag ensures that your kids have everything they need within reach, minimizing stress and keeping them comfortable throughout the day.
Kentuckiana Moving’s team is flexible and can accommodate breaks if your family needs them, ensuring that your children stay comfortable and content during the move.
Keep Kids Entertained on Moving Day
Moving day can be hectic, especially with kids underfoot. Consider arranging activities or games to keep them entertained. Some ideas include:
Coloring Books and Crayons: Simple and mess-free, these can keep younger kids entertained for hours.
Favorite Movies or Shows: Set up a portable DVD player or tablet with pre-downloaded shows to keep them occupied.
Scavenger Hunt: Create a scavenger hunt for the house, asking them to find items to pack. This can make moving day feel like an adventure.
If possible, enlist the help of a friend or family member to keep an eye on your kids or take them on a short outing during the busiest parts of the move.
Kentuckiana Moving’s team is experienced in working with families and will help keep the process smooth and efficient, so you can focus on your children’s comfort.
Stick to Routines as Much as Possible
Routines provide stability and comfort, which are especially important during a move. Try to keep meals, nap times, and bedtime routines as consistent as possible before, during, and after the move. Familiar routines can help kids feel secure and reduce anxiety about the changes happening around them.
If you’re moving long-distance, Kentuckiana Moving can coordinate your schedule to accommodate family routines, ensuring your kids have the least amount of disruption possible.
Let Kids Say Goodbye to the Old Home
Allowing kids to say goodbye to their old home can provide closure. You can take a tour of the house together, talking about memories and taking photos of their favorite spots. Encourage them to draw pictures or write about what they’ll miss, helping them express their feelings in a constructive way.
This goodbye ritual makes the move feel less like a sudden loss and more like a positive step toward a new adventure.
Make Unpacking Fun in the New Home
Once you arrive at your new home, let your kids participate in unpacking their belongings. You can make it fun by letting them arrange their new rooms or pick a spot for their favorite toys. This involvement helps them feel at home faster and allows them to focus on the excitement of a new space.
Kentuckiana Moving offers unpacking assistance to help you settle in faster. Their team can handle the larger items while you help your kids set up their rooms, making the transition smoother and more enjoyable.
Take Time to Explore the New Neighborhood
Help your kids adjust to their new surroundings by taking them on a tour of the neighborhood. Visit local parks, playgrounds, or nearby attractions. If they’re starting a new school, visit the school grounds to make it feel more familiar. Getting to know the area can make them feel more at ease and excited about their new community.
Kentuckiana Moving’s team has extensive local knowledge and can provide recommendations on family-friendly areas and activities to explore near your new home.
