Reassurance for 4yo DD when moving/pregnant.

[Shahlalala]

My DD is 4 and has found bedtime really hard the last few days. Bath, teeth, stories and songs all fine. She will then lie down have a cuddle and a kiss, totally fine (usually at this point she falls asleep pretty quick) .... about 2 minutes after I have left the room she is in floods of tears, saying she loves me, wants to be where I am and she can’t stop crying! I feel awful, cuddle and reassure her, get her back to bed. It took a few rounds of this tonight and I broke it by going in every few minutes and letting her see I had popped in, checking she is ok.
I am worried about her though. We are moving far away in a few weeks, which I know is hard for her to understand. She has a couple of Nursery friends she will miss, but we are moving where all my siblings and her cousins live, who she adores.
To add to this I am pregnant and due in August, I am more tired and had bad sickness at the beginning, which was also hard for her.
Nursery have mentioned she occasionally gets upset and asks for me, which she hasn’t done for a long time. They are great at reassuring and giving her a cuddle.
I finish work in 2 weeks, so will be able to give her loads of 1 on 1 time, which I hope will help.
My main question is how can I help her? She isn’t herself and there is so much for a little one to take in. How can I make this all easier for her?

You could make her a photo album of the new house, cousins and a mood board of how you can decorate her new bedroom. Make sure she know that’s you will be packing up and taking her toys with you when you move. I would lay next to her at bedtime until she is asleep.

It's a bit different for us as DSS is 6, but it's the same situation in that we're moving house and also having a baby in 3 weeks! He's been really upset the last week, feeling very emotional and worried about all of the changes. We've found that spending some one on one time with him is really helping - just sitting down and playing a board game with him seems to have helped him settle, something that involves us figuring things out together. I'm sure you have loads of one on one time with her already, but we never really thought about the importance of sitting down and physically playing something that's not on a screen etc. (that's not me frowning on screen time - it saves our sanity sometimes!)

I sang her to sleep last night cuddling and then lay her down and she slightly awake and said goodnight. Not a peep until 5am when she wandered in and climbed into our bed and went back to sleep (does this every morning).
I’m trying with the one on one time, but it’s work and Nursery that stop us. By the time I get her, get home it’s almost bedtime. Making sure weekends we are spending time together, but again we are seeing people before we leave, so it’s busy busy for her.
Once we move I will be out of work until baby 2 arrives, so I can hopefully make up for lost time!
