Moving abroad can be an emotionally stressful undertaking, and it certainly requires lots of planning and preparation. There is no denying that this is a time of uncertainty and that you might even feel a bit frightened of what’s to come. Now imagine being a child who not only has zero control over the entire thing but also lacks the rational and emotional maturity to understand the reasons that have shaped your decision to move abroad.

Getting your kids ready for school in the mornings is often a huge challenge for parents, especially if there’s more than one child. The trick is to be organised and allow yourself plenty of time, just in case there are any hiccups.

First and foremost, be sure to prepare as much as you can the night before. Encourage your kids to pack their school bags and lay their uniform out before bed so that everything is ready in the morning. If your children eat a packed lunch, you should lead by example and make the sandwiches etc. the night before too. The more you get done the night before as a family, the more time you’ll have in the morning. Checklists are great for ticking everything off and making sure you don’t forget anything.
