Taking your family out of its comfort zone to move to a new country can present a multitude of stresses. To help ease the impact on teenagers in particular we’re giving you some essential tried-and-tested advice which you may find useful. The decision to relocate overseas is not easy and when you are taking your family with you the number of things you need to take into consideration multiplies dramatically. There are few things that impact a family the way a relocation does. Relocating with a teenager can be especially difficult, considering that many teens will view this upheaval as practically earth shattering. Teenagers will often present a catalogue of reasons and well thought out productions on why the family should not relocate. Their initial reaction is understandable given that most teenagers (unlike younger children) have been building a life for themselves, honing their social skills and making decisions on their own. They have close friendships, school activities, jobs, family ties and, simply put, memories of growing up in a community they call home. If you're considering a life changing relocation, and wondering how your teenagers will cope - don't panic! Crown Relocations moves families with older children every day and are on hand to help you through the entire process.
