Moving house with 2yo who hates change! Help!

[YesEllis]

My 2yo is a sensitive boy, loves being at home, asks to go home a lot when we're out, even when we're at home and he gets really upset he will cry and say home despite the fact we are home! It's his safe space for sure. He struggles with nursery, asks to go home all day. He doesn't cope overly well with change in general, I.e he knows in the mornings daddy goes to work and will say daddy go work, bye bye daddy everyday but if it's his dad day off and he isn't going to work our son will just keep saying it and get upset like he doesn't understand why his dad isn't leaving. We've lived in this house his entire life, and we are moving on Monday. I'm so nervous that it's going to be a disaster and he's going to constantly cry to go home. We've taken him to the building site throughout the year it's been being built and talked lots about the new house, and he's always been excited to go see the diggers there but again always asks to go home after a little while. Has anyone got any advice on how to make this transition easier?

Anyone?

Our son is older but has a learning disability and so is similar to a 2 year old. We have made his room very similar to his old room, same colour, same furniture etc which has helped. The main thing we did though is front it out. I.e. be confident for him. Kids pick up really easily if you are worried and so we talked about how changes can be good or bad and put a lot of emphasis on all the good points. Also this is probably a reasonable time to employ bribery. Maybe a new digger toy or something to take his mind off the change until he is a bit more settled? He will cope with it better than you expect and it will make him much better at coping with changes in the future because you can talk about when you moved house next time he is worried about changes.
