Moving in Milan with children: preparing your home and moving day
Keep children's belongings separate, prepare their room and arrange where the family will be during your move in Milan.
A family-friendly program
A move changes spaces and habits at the same time. Explain to children, with words suitable to their age, what objects will find and how the day will be organized. It can be useful to prepare a small personal box together, without entrusting them with heavy tasks. Adult planning needs to understand who follows children while the team moves mobile and opens steps. The work area is not a game space.
Family objects within easy reach
Keep separate some games, favorite books, linens and change of clothes. Don't close it all in the bottom of the load. A container identified as the first opening allows you to quickly rebuild a routine, while the rest of the room can be settled calmly. For games made up of many parts use small bags or inner boxes: a label with the content is more useful than a generic writing like children.
The room in the arrival plant
Decide to place furniture before delivery, verifying space and opening of doors and windows. If a bed or library requires assembly, it agrees to the task and leaves the necessary surface free. The furnishings that provide fixings must be assessed and installed correctly by those who carry out the work. Do not consider the arrangement only because the panels arrived in the room: stability and accessibility must also be checked.
Reduce the crossings in the day
When possible, organize the stay of children away from the most intense operations. If they need to be present, it identifies a separate area and an adult dedicated to them. Informing the team of the situation helps to coordinate the steps, but does not replace family supervision. Avoid open boxes with small components and hardware in accessible points. Prepare in advance what it takes for meals and rest, without having to search among the packaging.
You can assign a symbol to the room in addition to the name, so that the boxes are recognizable even without reading all the labels. But keep a numbering for adult control. Do not write about the personal data of children not necessary for delivery: room, symbol and code are enough to identify the destination.
Breakdown for small environments
After the move it is not necessary to open all the boxes at the same time. First complete the indispensable spaces and preserve the order of the codes. A usable room can count more than one house already perfectly decorated. In the request to DUDA, it indicates the assembly and delivery priorities, distinguishing them from any hard times. The team will be able to assess how to insert them into the actual program, considering access, load and other agreed activities.
