When people place moving on lists of most stressful life events, they are normally talking about events that adults find stressful. So if adults who usually have some level of control over a move find it stressful, imagine how a child feels.

Plan:
Of course things don't always go as planned but you can do your best to plan a move that will not be too stressful for you or your toddler. The writer scheduled movers to come early so most of the move would be complete by the time her son would need to take a nap.
Talk about it:
Even with a new toy or Grandma, your child will still be aware that something is going on. Talk about what is happening, point out the moving truck, and indulge your child's curiosity.
Last packed, first unopened:
If you pack your child's things last, he or she won't have to spend time in an empty space. Then you can put his or things on the truck last so those things are removed first. You can set up your child's space first (either wash the linen that morning or have clean linen ready).
Explore your new neighborhood:
Find out where the parks and grocery stores are in your new area and have an adventure getting to know your new community.
