First time living alone

[XOXOGirlMum1986]

So after either living with relatives or ex-partner, my daughter and I will be living alone just the two of us. My daughter - who is 11 - is feeling a little anxious about it and as much as I try to reassure her it's going to be fine I can see it's still something that's on her mind. Does anyone have any ideas of how I can put her mind at rest and show her that it's the beginning of exciting adventure for us.

Maybe give her the chance to decorate her room the way she wants it. Colour scheme (if it's rented, it might be a problem though), posters, furniture, curtains, bed spread etc, etc.
I recently moved my daughter to a new room and she was feeling a little anxious about it but took her to Ikea to decide on furniture and textiles etc and now she loves it. LED light strips under the bed and behind furniture are a great way of introducing colour to a room that you aren't allowed to paint or wallaper yourself. They also relatively inexpensive.

Presumably living with your ex was a pretty horrible affair if you’re now split

so I suspect very soon after moving she’ll realise how lovely it is not to be surrounded by her parents arguing and tension
