This photo shows Maria Seyerle, top left, Anna, 8, bottom left, John, top right, and Sophia, 5, as they play in the backyard of their new home with their dog, Lulu, in Wyoming, Ohio. When John Seyerle’s fellowship was ending at a hospital in Columbus, Ohio, he and his wife, Maria, told their daughters that a move might be in their future. When he took a job in Cincinnati, the couple took the girls house hunting.

Settling kids into a new home

By MELISSA KOSSLER DUTTON Associated Press For children, the excitement of moving into a new home is often clouded by uncertainty.

Parents can ease the transition — starting at the dinner table.

The ritual of sitting down to a family meal can help kids start to feel at home, said Nancy Darling, a psychology professor at Oberlin College in Oberlin, Ohio. She also urges adherence to bedtimes.

“When kids feel like everything is changing, they need that stability,” she said. “They need attention and stability.”

That may mean anything from choosing familiar paint colors in the new house to letting kids be part of decorating decisions.

Barbara Miller, an interior designer in Portland, Ore., who

has moved with her children three times, painted their new rooms the same color as their old ones.

“I try to keep things as much the same (as possible) — especially if they’re nervous,” said Miller.

Moving can be more disruptive for kids than parents realize, added Doug Tynan, a child psychologist with the Nemours Foundation in Newark, Del. Be prepared to handle tears or unusual behavior as children adjust to their new setting, he said.

“Don’t take it personally if they walk into a wonderful new house and burst into tears,” said Tynan, who estimates it takes five to six weeks for children to adjust to a move.

He recommends that parents talk openly with children about the move as soon as they decide it’s going to happen.

“The more information the better,” he said. “Be as up front as possible.”

Home sprinkler systems a practical investment (ARA) - If you’re building a new home, you will likely spend thousands of dollars in upgrades designed to make your home more beautiful.

Carpet, cabinet and lighting upgrades can easily drive up the total cost of the home significantly. But how much are you willing to spend to make your home safer for you and your family?

The reality is that for the same amount of money it would cost to upgrade your carpet or cabinets, you could install a life-saving fire sprinkler system. On average, the cost to install a fire sprinkler system in a new home is 1 to 1.5 percent of the total building cost.

It has been proven that smoke detectors alone are not enough. They merely provide a warning but do nothing to extinguish deadly flames. Fire sprinkler systems, on the other hand, are designed to provide occupants with added time to safely escape.

Industry statistics show that when a smoke detector is used in combination with a fire sprinkler system, it can reduce the loss of life up to 98.5 percent - an increase of 48.5 percent over what smoke detectors alone can do.

“Residential fire sprinkler systems more than pay for themselves in the form of peace of mind,” says Matthew Kuwatch, global business director for BlazeMaster Fire Sprinkler Systems, the most specified nonmetallic fire sprinkler systems in the world.

“The decision to install a residential fire sprinkler system is a smart one, but is especially beneficial for families with young children, elderly adults or disabled individuals, because their chances of dying in a fire are more than twice as high as they are for young and middle-aged adults. Fire sprinkler systems work to help delay a fire and, in some cases, completely extinguish it.”

If you’re still concerned about cost, be aware that there are newer technologies on the market that have proven to be more cost-effective, as well as more reliable, than traditional steel fire sprinkler systems.

BlazeMaster fire sprinkler systems, for example, are made from a revolutionary, high-temperature specialty material that has effectively been used in life-safety applications for nearly 30 years.

Lightweight, corrosion-resistant and easy-to-install, BlazeMaster fire sprinkler systems offer significant cost savings in the form of reduced material and labor costs.

They additionally offer superior flame and smoke characteristics over some other nonmetallic piping materials.

Beyond the obvious safety benefits, the installation of a residential fire sprinkler system can also result in reduced insurance premiums because of its ability to limit property damage.

Automatic fire sprinklers are individually heat-activated to spray water only in the immediate area of the fire - often with only one sprinkler operating. The amount

of water discharged from a sprinkler head is one-tenth to one-hundreth of the amount of water typically disbursed if the local fire department is called in.

In some regions of the country, fire sprinkler systems aren’t just a smart investment, they are required by code.

Recent changes to the International Residential Code (IRC) mandate that new single-family homes be built with sprinklers beginning this year, although it is at the discretion of individual states to decide when the new code changes will be implemented.

Such changes in legislation reflect increased education and growing awareness regarding the effectiveness of and need for home fire sprinkler systems. According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), more than 500,000 household fires occur in this country alone each year, resulting in 5,000 deaths - an average of 14 per day.

Make sure your family is adequately protected - wherever you live. To learn more about the benefits of residential fire sprinkler systems, visit www.blazemaster.com or the Home Fire Sprinkler Coalition at www.hfsc.com.

Move Continued from Page 16 When John Seyerle’s fellowship was ending at a hospital in Columbus, Ohio, he and his wife, Maria, told their daughters, Anna, 8, and Sophia, 5, that a move might be in their future. When he took a job in Cincinnati, the couple took the girls house hunting.

“We did talk about what their criteria were for a new house,” Maria Seyerle said. “They wanted a swing set and tub with jets.”

The girls, who got their swing set shortly after moving into their new home in June, have adjusted well, Maria Seyerle said.

“That’s not to say that they don’t have their moments of being sad,” she said. “We’ve made it clear that we have mixed emotions too.”

Tynan, Darling and Miller offered these additional tips to help children adjust to a new home: • Introduce children to their new home: If possible, take them to the new house before the move. If they don’t have a chance to see the interior, take photos or show them the online listing. Talk about how the family will use the new spaces.

• Let them help arrange their new space: Give kids

a floor plan of their new room and let them decide where to place the furniture.

• Show them their new school: If the school has a website, spend time online getting to know the building and its teachers. Arrange to visit the school in person as soon as possible.

• Pack with care: Pack the kids’ room last so they face as little disruption as possible. Unpack their room first at the new house.

• Let them help: Give children a box to pack. Tell them to put their most valuable possessions in it. If possible, let them carry the box with them when traveling to the new house.

• Show kids around the new house: When you arrive, take kids on a tour. Point out the location of light switches, bathrooms and other useful details.

Make sure children know how to get to their parents’ room during the night. Consider using night lights or placing glow-in-the-dark stickers on light switches to help kids feel more comfortable.

• Take them around the neighborhood: Visit a playground or other attractions they might like. Point out positives, such as proximity to a pool, ball field or ice cream shop.

• Keep children active: Sign them up for sports teams, classes and other extracurricular activities as soon as possible. If the move occurs during the summer, try to register for a camp or class that will include local kids.
