My parents having been living with me since my 2 and a half year old was born and recently her father and I reconciled and moved in together. However, we've broken up and he is moving out and I am also moving to another place as have finished school. How can I help her get used to it being just the two of us in a new house?

Wow that sounds a bit like my life story a year ago. My daughter and I moved 1500 miles away to be with my husband, leaving behind grandparents she used to see every day and her real dad. I tried to make sure my stress was never shown to her. Always keep your patience. She will act up for a while, my daughter did. I always kept something for the two of us to do together on hand. We would draw pics, go outside and blow bubbles, play games, sing, anything to keep her busy.

Talk about it as a big adventure. That's how I did it when my daughter was three and we moved 3,000 miles from my mother and sister because my then husband was in the military and we were transfered. It became a big adventure, she was going back to the "land of her birth" etc.

Ensure that she gets lots of love from you.Make sure that she has friends over for a play.Enrol her in playgroup or something of the kind.

life is change.. as long as the primary care giver is around, she will be fine... I moved and my daughter didn't miss her grandma as much as I thought. Distraction.. parkss. friends... join mommy and baby ryme groups.. go swimming... that will help alot.

Don't worry, she will get use to it. Just make sure that she still sees the other people as often as possible.

Children adjust.
But she needs your quality time besides love.
See she is not lonely. Talk to her about Grandparents. Let them meet sometimes.
Let her talk to them on Phone.
