Moving...A Tough Thing for Kids to Face

Constant moving can have a damaging effect on families, especially on young children. Families in which one or both parents are in the military can be susceptible to constant moving, and this could have a detrimental effect on the children in the family. Imagine being seven or eight years old and having already attended three or four different schools. There are so many children who have had this type of experience.
Kids who only move once or twice during their childhood may not be effected negatively. These kids might find moving to be exciting...it could be a chance to start over for the better. On the flip side, children who are forced to move many times during their childhood often times develop serious problems in the future. These children may feel like they are not in control or as though no one cares what they want. What if they do not want to move? They are basically forced to and this can hurt them later in life.
Kids from families that move a lot can have both social and academic problems at school. These children may have a hard time making and keeping friends. I know that I have a few close friends that I have known since elementary school. These kids do not have that at all. They are forced to try and make new friends wherever they go and usually lost touch with old friends. Academically, it is very easy for these students to fall behind. Most school districts follow different programs, different states have varying curriculum standards, and in the long run, it is very easy for a child to fall behind due to gaps in their education.
Logistically speaking, it can be difficult not only for families involved in frequent moving, but for the people around them as well. While these children have a difficult time reintegrating into school settings several times in their school careers, teachers frequently have a difficult time integrating new students into their classes, as well. Parents also face challenges, such as finding new childcare, after school activities, etc.
Moving is hard on everyone, especially children of military families. Children, teachers, and parents are the most directly effected by constant moving.I bet it is extremely difficult to readjust at all, let alone every year or two.
