Growing Up Well - Let's Get a Move On! A Kid's Video Guide to a Family Move
Editorial Review:
Amazon.com
Big changes raise big questions for kids, and moving to a new home easily ranks near the top of the list, especially with 4- to 10-year-olds. To help them cope with the inevitable, this 30-minute Parents' Choice honoree follows four children (each from a different family) through the entire process: "Getting the News," "Getting Ready," and "Getting a Move On." Hearing each child tell his or her own story (scripted but quite realistic) not only demystifies moving, it also allows young viewers to see other kids endure it--with positive results. Each subtopic receives quality attention: an original song full of thought-provoking lyrics; home-style footage of the four kids interacting with friends, family, neighbors, and pets; and lots of frank talk about their feelings (anger, confusion, excitement) and experiences (packing, saying goodbye, making new friends). Helpful suggestions for coping with sadness, loneliness, and doubt are included. Overall, the show serves as a gentle reminder that "houses and apartments are just buildings--but home is where my family is." --Liane Thomas
