WBTW Myrtle Beach (May 2016) – A new study at Boston University shows there could be a negative effect on kids whose families move often. Researchers found many children’s math and reading scores dropped each time their family relocated. They also found higher rates of emotional and behavioral problems in children who move frequently.
Aside from the research, many parents have seen how difficult moving can be for children. So Our Town America is encouraging parents to create “Kids Comfort Moving Kits” to help with the transition.
Dave Butz with the Our Town America franchise in the Grand Strand joined News13 Now at 9 a.m. on Thursday, May 26 to talk about putting the kits together. The kits are basically a box of items designed to help children realize they aren’t leaving everything behind.
Watch the video for more details. Some tips follow below.
