Relocating is famously fearsome, even for those who don’t have kids, let along those who are single parents. Their everyday life is not at all easy and, when the two situations come together, it becomes one formidable task to accomplish.

Moving from one place to another can be exciting, but at the same time can get emotionally and physically draining. To some homeowners it is a chance to bid farewell to a particular chapter in their lives, whereas for rest it is a opportunity to leave their sorrows, evils and quibbles behind for a fresh start. But planning a relocation with children is downright difficult. It requires proper planning and loads of patience to cope up with the tension.

Fear not. Whilst this may look to be one of the toughest tasks to accomplish, many a single mom/dad have successfully relocated to their new abode and lived to tell their tale. And taking inspiration from these single parent superheroes, here are some noteworthy tips to follow for a smooth move. 

1) The key to moving with kids is planning in advance!

Planning ahead of time is one the best thing for a single parent. Ideally; you should plan your move at least 3-months in advance. However, relocating to a new location entails many unpredictable happenings and inconveniences.

This includes packing and preparing for your new home, sorting out the paperwork involved with shifting to a new school and finding competent Gold Coast removalists in the region.

Ahead-of-time-planning allows you to avoid any potential moving hiccups that comes in your way. And regardless of the scale of the relocation, you will always stay atop of it.

2) Taking your son/daughter to see the new home first!

The biggest problem about relocating with children is their fear. Your kid is not familiar with the new surrounding. So, naturally they will feel unhesitant in leaving their old home.

One way to end this fear is taking your son/daughter to the new residence. Don’t just show them their new home, also show them around the new neighbourhood, its nearby parks as well as their new school.

Once they have seen their new neighbourhood, their fear will automatically lessen. And that will make it easier for you to manage them when planning your move! 

3) Packing your kid’s room last, but unpacking it first

Giving familiar space to a kid is important to make them feel at ease! So, whilst you pack up elements from their room, don’t do it all at once. Rather pack majority of their stuff last.

Contrarily, on arriving at your new home, ensure your kid’s stuff is unpacked first. Doing so will make them feel important and a familiiar space of their own in the new location. The process will automatically become less hectic.

I was deeply impressed by Pat's thorough & kind communication style when I made some inquiries. I had never experienced such friendly & informative responses from any other removalist companies I contacted before. On the day, Pat's guys arrived right on time. Te & the team did an amazing job for me. They were all very courteous and brilliantly fast & smart. I have hired many removalists before and experienced them stretching out time, damaging my furniture, and stopping work & smoking cigarettes for ages when I wasn't on-site. Pat's guys Te & the team worked incredibly hard and got the job done very well in half the time other companies' guys would have. I can highly recommend Richards Removals. Richards would tremendously reduce the enormous stress & hassle of your relocating. Pat, Te & the team, thank you very much!!

I would highly recommend using Richards, they moved me from my home into a storage unit. The two young men completed the move without an issue and in very efficient time. Ash and Jake were very personable and polite. I am using Richards again to move from the storage unit to the new house and have requested these two young gentlemen do the move. I was asked by a neighbour could I recommend someone for their move in January so I of course said Richards.
