Guidelines When Moving Out With Teens

Moving out? Changing cities? May be you are prepared, but is your teenage ready too? Not wanting to move is pretty normal. After all, it is leaving behind everything that has been familiar, and it indeed is going to be difficult. Don’t make your teenager feel neglected, but be aware of their feelings. It will help ease the anxiety. You could do the following:

1.   Ask questions: It is a time when teenagers are going through mixed emotions. Amidst their fear, they also have excitement, but then again they are confused. Ask them questions, let them ask you too. Tell them why did you decide to move and if there is an alternative. Give them as much as information as possible. At the same time, let them speak their heart out, and ou be the patient listener. It goes a long way.

2.   Involve them: Teenagers have to leave behind their friends, school and a lot of memories. It is stressful. They may not be completely happy with the idea of moving out, but if you involve them in the relocation process, it will help them feel a little more in control of things. You could let them pack their room, lend a hand with household fixes, etc. Being physically involved in the move will get them ready mentally.

3.   Give them the needed time: Allow your teenage to take their own time. They need time to say adieu. You could probably host a party or simply have fun by inviting friends. You can even let them go out with their best friend for a whole day or may be a picnic. It will ease the mind and help in being better prepared. Besides, make sure you take time out to click as many pictures as possible. It definitely will bring back fond memories of yesteryear.

4.    Promise to keep in touch: One of the major fears of the relocation process is losing out on old friends. It is true that they will leave their friends behind, but then its not forever. Ensure that they have taken their mail ids and phone numbers and given theirs too. Technology has brought the world closer and it is not difficult to chat, share pictures and videos.

Do You Really Need Onsite Assistance?

Relocation in Abu Dhabi involves taking responsibility of a bundle of duties, none of which would be easy. But the 1^st job that stands in line before the rest is the estimation of the stuff that needs to be moved to the desired location. Many moving services in Abu Dhabi have brilliant customer care services. You don’t even have to meet the representative…your questions can always be answered on the phone.

But there are some facilities in Abu Dhabi that forcefully send an agent to your home for an onsite check of the number of goods you will be loading into the truck. All these agents do is barge into the home and start measuring your items and calculating the number of things to be moved. Then they estimate the amount you will have to pay. This is clearly not necessary (according to a review created on the customer feedback, received over the years by some of the famous storage facilities in Abu Dhabi).

A good storage facility is one that gives you a choice of whether you need assistant to help you or not. It isn’t difficult to calculate what goes into the truck and what stays… is it? They why hire an assistant and shell out cash for a job that can be easily done by you, enjoyably, together with your family?

The customer service representatives at our Abu Dhabi storage company The Box provides estimates directly on the phone. They are available to help you with any queries you might have.

Bubble Wrap Your Goods to Safety

The ‘bubble wrap’ is known to everyone right from kids to adults. The popping of the plastic bubbles as a game is still a significant childhood memory for many. To my surprise, I also came across a little fact that the world celebrates ‘bubble wrap appreciation day’ on the 26^th of January!

Bubble wrap was made for many reasons. The evenly spread air bubbles on every sheet can easily protect delicate and break-able items. They also provide safety by working as shock absorbers for a variety of items during transportation. Many people use bubble wrap as packaging material in Abu Dhabi simply because of it is economical to do so and fulfills the purpose of protecting their goods from chipping, scratches and other kinds of damage. Thus this packing material is extremely useful during moving and relocation in Abu Dhabi. With bubble wrap you don’t have to panic about the number of items that are going to break the next time you move.

This is also the reason why this packing material is also used by manufacturers of sports goods, pharmaceuticals, electronic equipments, china ware, etc. Bubble wrap sheets come of different sizes, thickness specifications and can be purchased by the meter.

Many use The Box’s relocating services in Abu Dhabi. When they do so, they take the help of our team or do the packaging themselves by ordering packing material from The Box Shop. The Box also provides other kinds of material apart from bubble wrap. Stroll around at The Box Shop online at www.storageinabudhabi.com.
