Is it traumatic for kids to move house?

We're about to move house to a bigger house. It's closer to my kids school and their friend/ grandparents and they will all get their own rooms for the teenage years. Now I feel rediculously sad that they are leaving a house where they spent their early childhood and I'm terrified it's going to affect them in some bad way. So much so that I'm looking for ways to stay put in our small house. Am I being stupid thinking like this? Please help.

Moving house doesn't traumatisé children but having an overly-sentimental drip for a mother probably does.

Do you speak from experience? Are you traumatised from your mother?
