About My Moving Activity

Product Description Moving with children is made easier with this all-in-one Scrapbook, Journal, and Activity Book that guides kids through a family relocation and entertains them during the busy time of planning a move. Complete with over 100 encouraging and interactive activities, helpful icons direct young movers through journaling, exploring and discovering, geography, arts and crafts, and games and puzzles. Each activity covers specific moving topics in a fun and creative way. Build your child's confidence by positively addressing everything from remembering your home, schools, friends, and community to learning about the new ones you'll be moving to. Other activities creatively cover topics such as moving pets, packing, preparing for moving day, collecting addresses, staying in touch with old friends, making connections, safety, settling into your new community, and more. This book is filled with moving tips and includes answers to games and puzzles. The individualized format makes the activity journal easily adaptable to all ages, from pre-readers to teens. Moving is a unique opportunity to draw upon children's natural curiosity to encourage positive skills for getting through big changes. This Activity Journal facilitates transition through creating, playing, planning, learning, helping, working together, sharing feelings, and most importantly, having fun. Review "Children are quickly drawn in with clever games, projects and activities that get the moving experience started down a positive road that builds confidence all the way. From old to new, each part of the journey becomes special and chronicled forever in a unique keepsake." --Sally Smith, Tutor/Director, Unlocking Potential LLC, Fairhope, Alabama "Thanks so much for sharing the Moving Activity Journal with us. We think it's awesome. Even after our move, my daughter gets hers out every so often and adds more to it. I thought that was a great testimony to its appeal! It really is a neat thing for kids to have to do while a move is happening. And, I think it will be really cool for them to look back on. It's just a great idea all around!" --Joanna V., Mother of 2, Stillwater, Minnesota About the Author Nicole L.V. Jaeger is founder of Soaring Moon LLC and is author and illustrator of "My Moving Activity Journal." She has moved over 20 times, starting as a young child, and most recently, as the mother of a young child. Having lived in nine different states from coast-to-coast, she has first-hand experience in moving for school, work, changes in family circumstances, and to be closer to family. The Moving Activity Journal combines her own moving expertise, research, and appreciation of what it is like to be a little kid in the middle of a big change. Nicole Jaeger brings a multidisciplinary background and a passion for creating to Soaring Moon. Her background includes work as an attorney with a J.D. from Northeastern University in Boston, Massachusetts, administration of her family's general contracting business, work as an ecologist with a B.S. in Ecology & Systematic Biology at Cal Poly University in San Luis Obispo, California, research in environmental science at the University of Colorado, Boulder, and teaching environmental education for a Y.M.C.A. program in the wilderness of northwestern New Jersey. Since early childhood, she has written stories and poems, and she drafted her first moving journal during one of her own big moves (1475 miles!) at the age of thirteen. Her longest move was over 3000 miles. Her most important, challenging, and rewarding job has by far been caring for her two young children.
