Moving to Tulsa is a large job, but you do not have to tackle it by yourself. On the contrary, you can change moving to Tulsa into a family undertaking that inspires some quality time together and makes the whole job a lot more workable—and perhaps even pleasant.
Here are a few pointers to get the whole family interested in the project.
The day prior to packing, hold a family meeting and review the moving functions that need to be completed. Appoint jobs to everyone with clear directions about how to accomplish them. Your kids might enjoy checklists—there is something pretty rewarding about crossing something off a list, no matter what age you are! Young children could like helping you label the boxes, or even decorating them with markers or crayons. Create a sense of teamwork, and when it is go time...
Packing feels an awful lot like a chore. Instead of asking (or demanding!) the kids to do it at random in their own time, set aside a day or some blocks of time and have everyone do it together. When you begin, prepare a special drink or goodies and have some pizza delivered. Encourage everyone to communicate with each other if they need help.
Remember to take break times for treats, and decide that when the job is finished, you will all do something relaxing together. That could mean going out to your favorite family restaurant, or doing something unique in your new neighborhood! You could even hand out prizes for packing the most in a certain amount of time or for getting rid of the most unwanted or outgrown items. Speaking of which:
There is little reason to move any items your children have stopped wearing or playing with. Keep the space and time by getting rid of them prior to your! Even younger children can decide if they have any toys they don't play with anymore. You might agree to donate those unwanted belongings to children in need, which can be a rewarding accomplishment for your kiddos, also.
If you're having a moving sale, ponder allowing your children keep the money from their contributions. This could encourage them to get rid of a few more toys and clothes they don't need anymore, and it helps them to be more interested in the process. They might be more willing to assist you with manning the garage sale, also!
Depending upon the age of your kids, you could have them pack their own rooms. Have a quick tutorial on how to pack clothes, awkwardly shaped items, posters, and more. You or the moving company can handle the large or delicate stuff.
Work collectively in the kitchen and other shared areas. Younger children can without difficulty box books and other non-fragile items; older children and teens can assist you with belongings like plates and utensils and small appliances. Use the time to have a conversation, or take turns choosing your favorite songs to share with each other.
