I am a former educator so that was always in the back of my mind.
My son was an easy going kid, so nothing appeared to bother him.
My daughter, on the other hand did not and still does not do well with change.
When we moved from Queens to Yorktown Heights, my daughter was 'graduating' elementary school.
She was bused so she did not miss any close friends.
The move was a fairly easy one although she feared if she would make friends.
Not only did she make friends, she is STILL friends with many of them.
The rest of the moves were OK, but the school districts were always better than the last.
My kids were not always involved in our moves.
Several moves were done either when they were in college, grad school, working or getting married.
