In a recent study conducted by Coldwell Banker and the Baby Center it showed that “children’s ages and needs play a major role in when and why American families move.” A whopping 68% of mom’s surveyed, who had moved within the last 18 months, did so when they were pregnant or by the time their child had reached 2 years old. Only 13% moved after their child was in kindergarten or above.
Most moms said their family moved because they wanted a bigger home, nicer home and better school districts.
