is it better if a kid is younger and can't speak or walk or halfway before they become adults? When is best?

It definitely depends on the kid. It's ALWAYS good to move as a small baby. S/he doesn't know anyone and s/he can start a new life. As long as it's a BETTER home, then the baby will be happy.
Sometimes, teenagers get attached to their friends. Actually, over 3/4ths DO get very attached to their friends and NEVER want to leave and when you DO wrench them away from their friends, it's terrible and it makes them feel horrible.
They will find new friends but it will "Never be the same".
But sometimes a young adult NEEDS to move. Sometimes, the community is just not right, whether you're full of preps and the adolescent just isn't a prep, or the kid is smart and needs a new form of education.
Sometimes a move can be a good change.
I would certainly suggest, if you're choosing between the two, moving as a baby has no bad sides.
But sometimes a move is imperative as an adolescent.
You just need to pinpoint what kind of kid it really is.

As a military family, I can tell you that teenagers have the hardest time. Kids 12 and under usually do very well with it. At that age, they are adaptable and make new friends very easily. As the become older teens it is MUCH harder because they forge friendships and sometimes have boy/girlfriends and when it is disrupted, especially in high school....it is extra tough. When they start a new school, they may be in a situation where it is really tough to make new friends b/c some of the other kids have literally known each other ALL their lives and have been friends for years. It is hard to break into that. 14 and up...definatly the worst.

12 - maybe 15. Depends on the maturity of the kids and their capability to understand things around them. The younger the better, if you ask me. The only thing the young ones care for more is that the parents are there, and many of their little toys.

Jr. High school age or older... We moved around all my life, but that seemed to be when it got to be harder to adjust. I think it's because the social scene was different, and it was harder to fit into the groups of friends that have been friends most of their life. The older kids get the less aceptive they are of new comers... so any time before 6th grade is good, but after that... it's horrible, and I suppose you have to factor in horomone changes and stuff in the kids too... Females tend to get pretty moody and hormonale when they enter into pre-teen years so that just makes it even worse.

HAHAHA! OMFG, I'm sorry, but I must laugh at this, I'm 17, when this school year starts i will have officially gone to a different school for every year of high school, and it's not as bad as you think. I mean sure, it isn't the easiest thing, i would say after high school has started isn't the worst, i'd say 10-13 would be the worst. and then before senior year, for chrissake let them got to college and then move.

Great question! My parents moved me in the middle of 7th grade- mainly so I would make friends so I wouldn't have a lonely summer in a new town. I made plenty of friends to hang out with and was comfortable starting 8th grade in a new town. I'm now 33 and haven't suffered from it. LOL
Definitely not like junior year or senior year though.

Well Cub_Fanatic, I would say the teenaged years are the hardest.
Or Preteen years. They usually are very social by those ages, and they have to move cuz they live at home. If they are adults, they can make their own decisions and choose to stay in the same area. As young children it doesn't matter to them.
It's much harder on teens to move.
