I've been planning this for ages but the time is suddenly upon us - I'm moving myself and my two DC (aged just 6 and 1.5) into a new house in 2 weeks time. H will be staying in the house we own.
I've thought a great deal about how to explain it - simple, factual, reassuring, answering questions etc. But I really need some advice about when to tell them. Obviously, it's the 6 year old I'm concerned about.
Should I tell them now? A week before the move? A day before? Or not tell them until I actually move them?
I am leaning towards a couple of days in advance, to give them a chance to process it a little but not too long to start brooding or worrying too much in advance.
But I just don't know.
