I had moved before and my youngest was one year old at that time and took it easy. Now he three and getting a bigger place. I am getting a house. Right now I am living in a apartment that wasn't big. I be moving soon when I get the house work on and cleaned. How can I help him prepare him for the move and the changes. I be moved before the school starts and he goes day after labor day to start preschool. I want to make it easy for him and the changes. I am also potty training would that take or old him back on the potty training. What can I watch out for him or signs that he not taking it to well. It might a 1 month or so before we move. We be living in the same town. It 5 blocks away from my parents..

First...about moving...get him excited....if he gets a new room...make it exciting for him....tell he gets to decorate it anyway he likes....and make it fun for him!
Second...potty training and moving aren't a good mix....but be consistent. Good luck...I am just going crazy trying to get my son trained...

I am actually going through some of the same things with my three year old daughter right now. We are moving to a different state in two weeks. We have had her help pack up her things. She actually liked it so much she helped pack up in every room. We just talk everyday about where we are going and that we will be close to her grandparents and her brand new school. She tells people all the time that we are moving. She is really excited at this point, but who knows when we actually do it if she will be happy about it.
The potty training just needs to be consistent and he should be ok. Good Luck with your move!

I wish I had some amazing way to potty train in a week,but I dont. Just try to be patient with him and realize there is a lot that will be happening in his life as well as yours. You have a month so maybe some progress can be made.
As for the moving- try takign him to parks near your new house and school. There you can meet new kids and moms that might be attending the school. Try going to the library, i know they have classes sometimes and you can meet children from the area there too. Take him by his new house and ask him he would like to decorate his room!!! Good Luck!!

well,
potty training first to a parent is hard but keep with it . it will get easier soon. just because you will be moving does not mean that training him doesn't have to stop. ( like keep it up don't upset yourself because both of you are moving.
also for the moving part try having a sleep over with some friend's of his. ( if any) that will help him after he shows are tell you what he wants in his room. To make it easier for him. he will love for the kids to see his new house and room. Or have a pool party for him if he likes pools. Or a party period.
( they love party's where they get things like candy bags and etc.
but let him pick out what he wants in he's new big room. that just sound better anyways.
I hope that I helped you out

Show him the new house before you move and let him spend some time playing and eating there before you move in full time. Maybe even spend a night. Ask him if he has any questions or fears and let him confide in you. Tell him that he will be able to take all of his toys with him and when you set up his room, try to make it as similar as possible to his old room so that he feels secure. Good luck!

Get him excited about the move. Tell him how much more room he will have to play with his toys and he will have his own yard to play in. Keep up with the potty training as you have been. Telling him about school and keeping him excited about school is a good incentive for him keeping dry.

take him to the house and show him where he'll be living. make it into an adventure. you could show him the room he'll have and tell him he can help pick out stuff to decorate it how he likes. let him be involved in the process.
