What are the thoughts of others?

In my experience, these kinds of moves are always distressing to kids. My son has great attachments, but just moving to Bloomington WITH me---same mom, different house--threw him into a tailspin. My friend is moving with her husband and three year olds son, and the three year old is whacking out. So I can only imagine what it's like for kids who have to do this without their parents.

That said, I'm sure a lot depends on the child's previous attachments and basic personality type.
