Moving to a new home, perhaps even a new state? Here are some tips for making it a more positive, even fun experience:
    Write in a journal
    You may have a lot of thoughts rolling around in your head about the move, and getting them down on paper can really help you sort through them. Once written down on paper, you can expand on them and even research ways to solve problems.
    Do some research
    Concern and doubt may turn into excitement as you find out about your new town and neighborhood. If you’re allowed to use the Internet, find out what there is to see and do. Most cities have websites with links to activities, services and places to eat. Schools and park departments also often have websites.
    Plan your new room
    If you get to visit your new home beforehand, snap (抓拍) a photograph of it. Think about how you’ll arrange the furniture you’re bringing. Check out online stores for ideas. There are also magazines devoted to ideas for decorating kids’ rooms.
    Say goodbye
    Make a list of everyone you’d like to say goodbye to, then try to visit each person before you go. Make sure to get their addresses and phone numbers. Take an autograph book and have them sign it.
