NEW YORK -- Did you know that children who move often tend to perform worse in school and have more behavioral problems than those who those who do not have to relocate? This is a fact that has been recognized and documented for quite some time by those in the fields of psychology and sociology. However, for some families, moving is a must rather than an option—especially in this economic climate with a still-high level of unemployment. In many situations, moving is necessary for parents to be able to best provide for their families.
According to the article “Residential Mobility, Well-Being and Mortality” in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, effects of moving stress and anxiety can even translate into negative baggage in adulthood. Of course no parents want to cause harm, worry or stress to their children. The good news is that there are actions parents can take to make moving a little easier—and assimilation into a new environment smoother—for children. iSearch Schools, an education advisement company in New York City, specializes in helping families identify actions to help ease the stress of relocating to “the big city.”
iSearch Schools can help parents find a choice new school, social groups and educational activities for children. This can help parents to save time, worry and anxiety.
