How to Pack Fragile Items for a Move

Moving can be stressful, especially when you have fragile items that need extra care and protection. Here are some tips on how to pack fragile items for a move:

Gather the right supplies. You will need sturdy boxes, bubble wrap, packing paper, tape, scissors, and markers. You may also want to use speciality boxes for items like dishes, glasses, or mirrors.
Wrap each item individually. Use bubble wrap or packing paper to wrap each fragile item, making sure to cover all sides and corners. Secure the wrapping with tape and label the item with its contents and Fragile.
Fill the boxes with cushioning. Before placing the wrapped items in the boxes, fill the bottom of the boxes with crumpled paper, foam peanuts, or other cushioning materials. This will create a protective layer and prevent the items from shifting or breaking during the move.
Arrange the items carefully. Place the heaviest and largest items at the bottom of the boxes, and the lighter and smaller ones on top. Avoid overpacking the boxes or leaving empty spaces. Fill any gaps with more cushioning materials and tape the boxes securely.
Label and load the boxes properly. Mark each box with “Fragile” and “This Side Up” on all sides. You may also want to indicate the room where the box belongs. Load the boxes carefully in the moving truck, making sure they are not stacked too high or too low. Keep them away from sharp or heavy objects that could damage them.

Tips for Moving with Children

Children may have different reactions and emotions to moving, depending on their age, personality, and attachment to their current home. Here are some tips to make moving with children easier and smoother for everyone involved.

Involve your children in the moving process as much as possible. Let them know why you are moving, where you are moving, and what to expect. Show them pictures or videos of the new home, neighbourhood, and school. Ask for their opinions and preferences on things like furniture, decorations, and room arrangements. Make them feel part of the decision-making and planning.
Help your children cope with the emotional aspects of moving. Acknowledge their feelings of sadness, anger, fear, or anxiety. Listen to their concerns and answer their questions honestly and reassuringly. Remind them of the positive aspects of moving, such as making new friends, exploring new places, and having new opportunities. Encourage them to keep in touch with their old friends and relatives through phone calls, video chats, letters, or social media.
Prepare your children for the physical aspects of moving. Pack their belongings carefully and label them clearly. Let them keep some of their favourite items, such as toys, books, or blankets, with them during the move. Make sure they have enough snacks, drinks, and entertainment for the journey. Plan some breaks and fun activities along the way. Arrive at the new home before dark, if possible, and help them settle in their new rooms.
Support your children in adjusting to the new environment. Help them unpack and organize their things. Introduce them to the neighbours and other children in the area. Enrol them in the new school and extracurricular activities as soon as possible. Explore the new community and its attractions with them. Be patient and understanding if they experience some difficulties or challenges in adapting to the change. Praise them for their efforts and achievements.
