Moving

Hi. My 8 year old does not want to move. She is so nervous about talk of it that she has deleloped a nervous twich in her nose. How do I help her get used to the idea that it is going to happen and it will be better for the whole family with out her having a meltdown?

Re: Moving

There are a lot of children's books on this topic - mr. rogers has one and sesame street has one (wish I could remember the titles). Might help to read these books with her. There are probably books for her reading level that describe similar experiences in fiction format - check with your local librarian.
