As adults, we have a lot of logistics to plan for when moving to a new home. We have to hire the movers, schedule furniture delivery, arrange for cable installation, and innumerable other tasks. But for a child, there’s just one big task: Prepare for your new school.
Switching schools can be a difficult time for a child. They’ve made friends at their old school, they know all their teachers, they know the bus schedule and they have their routine. It’s a big deal, especially for older children, to start a new routine when they’re so used to the old one. And as parents, it’s our job to help them adjust to a new school as best we can. Here are five ways you can do just that.
One of the best things you can do to help ease your child into a school transition is to plan your move during the summer break. This will allow them plenty of time to get settled into their new home and their new neighborhood before introducing them right away to a new school, as well. Being able to start at their new school on the first day of the year will also prevent them from having to play “catch-up” in their classes.
And depending on the exact date of your move, there may be an opportunity to sign your child up for summer camps in their new hometown. This is a great opportunity for them to meet other kids in their area with similar interests, and hopefully make new friends. Here are some recommendations for Maryland and Delaware.

Starting at a new school can be scary, and our goal as parents is to help make them feel as comfortable as possible in this situation. One way to take away the fear of the unknown is to take a tour of the school with them beforehand. Make sure they know the layout of the hallways, where the cafeteria and gymnasium are, where the main office is, etc. If they know their class assignments or homeroom, then make sure to point these out, too. And while you’re on site, ask the staff in the office if it’s possible for your child to meet the principal or any of their teachers ahead of time.
Once the school year is in session, your child is bound to receive information about after-school clubs, sports team tryouts, and other extra-curricular groups. If your child participated in any of these at their previous school, encourage them to join the same club at their new school. It will only make their school transition more difficult if they’re not taking part in an activity that made them happy, such as the dance team, debate club, marching band, theater group or the basketball team. If there isn’t a specific extra-curricular offered through the school, then look to your local rec center or research children’s groups in your area.

Don’t wait until parent-teacher conference time to ask about how your child is adjusting to their new school. Touch base with your child’s teacher (or teachers) early in the year to make sure they’re aware that you recently moved to the area, and that you’d like to make sure your child is participating in class and socializing with their peers.
Most teachers will understand your concerns and work with you to give updates on how they’re progressing. If there is a concern raised, be sure to ask how you can support their improvement at home.
Related: Back to School Tips for Parents
The most important thing you can do to help your child transition smoothly to a new school is to listen. If they’re having an easier time than they thought they would, celebrate that! Maybe tell them to invite their new friends over to hang out.
If they’re not transitioning well, ask them to tell you how they’re feeling. Do they miss their old friends? Do they not like their new teacher? Listen to what they say and ask how you can make things easier for them. Even a small change can have a big impact on their mood and help them adjust to their new school.
Welcoming a pet into your family and home will bring you joy, love and inevitably a bit of a mess. The mess is inevitable, it comes with the territory, but that doesn’t mean your home’s cleanliness is doomed.
If you follow these 10 simple steps it won’t matter if you have one well-behaved cat or a whole zoo living in your home – it will continue to look new, smell fresh and stay squeaky clean. After all, a clean home is a happy home for all family members – the furry and the not so furry.
Fall’s the perfect time to spice things up—pumpkin-spice latte and spiced hot cider. Lennar goes bigger than that, with three DIY ideas that will color the way you enjoy autumn.
With new homes for sale in Dallas, TX, and in Fort Worth, TX, all tucked in 81 communities throughout the Metroplex, Lennar naturally leans toward the hands-on construction side of things. These suggestions, though, aren’t just crafty, they’ll last all season—and beyond:
Fire pit and outdoor seating. As we’re all well aware, September, weather-wise, is still technically summertime in north Texas—that is, it’s hot. But temps start to fall like New England leaves in October and November, so take advantage of the sublime big-sky season. While Everything’s Included® in your new Lennar home, with many new homes offering fireplaces or options for one, you can add even more warmth outdoors with a fire pit.
PrettyHandyGirl.com provides an easy-to-follow blueprint that doesn’t take much more equipment than a shovel and some string and a few home-improvement products, such as sand and gravel. Oh, and you have to provide the firewood and the chocolate, marshmallows and graham crackers for the s’mores.
Tree fort. This may look like a project that’ll drive you out of your gourd, but, no, the plan here will only drive you up a tree, but in a good way. ApartmentTherapy.com’s directions make the job look like a snap and, don’t forget, wooden pallets can be hugely useful here. Also remember, a big part of fall’s DIY projects these days is “upcycling.”
The Craft Guild. After you’ve enjoyed your fire pit and it’s gotten too dark outside for the kids to play in the tree fort, get your DIY on at The Craft Guild. Actually, that’s a great way to get someone else to help you focus on fun projects for fall without having to Google and scroll through hundreds of “DIY projects” yourself.
Started in 1948, the Guild offers a wide range of classes for adults and children, guest artists, shows and workshops. Better yet, the non-for-profit center in Carrollton is within easy proximity of virtually all of Lennar’s new homes for sale in Dallas, TX. The Lennar communities closest to the Craft Guild include Lakewood Hills and Wyndale Meadows in highly sought-after Lewisville and desirable University Place in Dallas, all within 10 miles

When looking to purchase a home, there are many qualities everyone looks for: location, size, layout and so much more. Citrus Pointe, located in Davenport, Florida, is the whole package. These single-family homes are the perfect place to raise a family. Though the community is located in a small, quiet town, it is just a few minutes from Interstate 4 and US 27, so you can travel to other cities very quickly.
There will be 50 homes with six unique floorplans to choose from in this community. The Atlanta, Hartford, Freedom, and Providence each have four bedrooms, while the Dover and Lattitude are three-bedroom homes. Each of these floorplans includes a 2-car garage. Something that makes these homes so great is that in addition to Lennar’s Everything’s Included® promise, this is an all-solar community. Being an all-solar community means the homes generate electricity by using energy from the sun.
The Freedom and Lattitude homes have another special feature. They are Next Gen®- The Home Within a Home® floorplans which essentially have an apartment within the home. This is perfect for having additional family members or friends to stay with you. These homes within the home include a living room, bedroom, bathroom, and small kitchen. It is a great way to have someone live with you while also being on their own.
The amenities at Citrus Pointe are another reason your family will love living in this community. The resort-style pool is the perfect spot to spend an afternoon in the Florida heat.
