The difficulties of moving to Portugal with a young family
Posted by Brian Miller on October 22nd, 2016
If you are planning to move alone, it may be easier than when doing so with a family and young children. By making use of direct transport to Portugal to move your goods in one go, relocating can become easier. However, anyone who has relocated in similar conditions will advise you to prepare in advance and plan which things not to pack and transport to Portugal with the rest, things which belong to your kids and are in use by them on a daily basis. This is not because their transport services are unsafe when the goods of kids are involved. No, it is simply because kids might be affected by the major change you are about to make more than adults are. Such changes are difficult on the parents too, but even more so, on the kids. Parents have to pay extra care to keep familiar objects with them while travelling, instead of shipping away with the rest.
Even family psychologists agree that kids should be prepared well for such major changes in their life. Before you even begin the journey of packing and hiring a transport company, do tell your young kids about it. This is better than waiting until the day of the trip comes. If they are truly in love with your current neighbourhood, and have friends they would never see again, find the right words to break the news. You could make it seem like just any other adventure the family has had in the past. Just like you, the children will have the fear of the unknown. They may worry about being sad in their new school and home area. As well, they may fear about not knowing the local language. So it will be necessary to reassure them that all will be well in Algarve. Even if you both have to read notes online, go right ahead.
There are a number of problems associated with relocation when it comes to moving with your children. While you may work your way through all of them gradually, you will still have to plan ahead your transport to Portugal, decide what needs to be packed and what not, sort things out at family level as well as arrange transport with a reliable company. Synchronising everything will be difficult. However, if you choose direct transport to Portugal you may have things delivered to destination at a faster pace, thus keeping your kids away from their things and familiar items for less time. Given the natural sensitive side of this process and considering it may be easier on the children to do everything faster, we recommend going for more expensive, but prompter services.
A reliable company consultant, familiar with the issues most people have when relocating, may also assist you with a great travel plan, aside from ensuring the transport to Portugal details are in place before giving the go ahead for packing. We have witnessed an act of kindness in the past, from one of the company employees, a member of the staff who was trying to help a family answer some of the difficult questions their child had about the journey, simply because he was more familiar with Portugal than the people who were relocating. Changes are not easy and the staff at AlgarveFreightCentre know this and try to help in the best way possible. With great customer support and quality transport services, we warmly recommend hiring them as they will sort transport issues out for you and go beyond their call of duty to be of services to you and your family. Direct transport Portugal has never been this easy.
