DH has accepted a 2-3 year contract to work in the Far East and will move there in March. I will follow with DCs (5 and nearly 7) at the end of this school year (though we will go out at Easter for a visit/school assessments). They will be swapping rural peace and quiet for high rise big city living and a tiny village primary for a large international school. We want to tell them the basics tomorrow, and expect some disquiet from the children. Maybe we are worrying unnecessarily, but 5yo DS in particular hates change and spends holidays asking when we can go home. What should we tell/not tell them at this stage? I have written down the positives we want to say (including: we will be coming back to the same house afterwards, you can take all your things, stay in touch with friends and family, do all the things you do at home, the school does the same school work etc), but don't want to overload them with info at this stage. I would be very grateful for any pointers from those who have done this.
