Moving Can Be Fun: New Children's Book Turns Moving into a Family Adventure

An interactive guide to help children understand their role in the moving process

MT. LAUREL, N.J., Jan. 21, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- For over 30 years in the moving and housing industry, author Matthew J. Contrady has worked with families, witnessing firsthand the challenges parents may face when moving with children. In hope to ensure that kids feel valued and included during this transitional time, Contrady wrote, "Moving Magic: Moving with Children."

With a focus on younger children, Contrady designed his book to help families navigate the moving process together by introducing children to the steps involved in moving, helping them understand the process and why.

"I saw how stressful moving could be for families, especially parents struggling to help their children cope with the transition," said Contrady. "This inspired me to write a book that not only guides kids through the process but also shows them how they can play an important role in making the move a success."

In addition, readers will be offered tips, including hosting a garage sale, packing rooms, preparing first boxes, and tools to help children process their emotions and approach moving positively and confidently.

"There is a section for children to remember where they came from by writing autographs and messages," said Contrady. "I want to help them hold onto their memories as they look forward to where they're going."
