Almost 70 percent families have moved to a new home at least once during their children’s lifetime and 18 percent of families have moved three or more times, according to a recent survey.

The online survey of 1,000 parents by Rent.com found that 54 percent of parents worry about their children’s apprehensions surrounding the move, while additional concerns include finding the right time for the kids to move (31 percent), making sure moving day logistics run smoothly with the kids (27 percent) and getting kids motivated to help with moving (22 percent).

Children also fret about their new homes, but in different ways from their parents. More than half of American parents (54 percent) report that their children worry most about making new friends at school or in their neighborhood, 18 percent wonder if they’ll truly feel at home in the new place and 14 percent feel anxious about getting acclimated to the new neighborhood.

When choosing a new family home, an overwhelming 61 percent of parents cited a safe neighborhood as being the most important factor, while a quarter of parents (24 percent) believe that a living space large enough for the entire family to live in comfortably is equally important.

One third of parents (32 percent) said  children want their own bedrooms, 28 percent said kids wish for a neighborhood with other kids their own age and 26 percent responded that what kids really pine for is a big backyard with enough room for a swing set, pool or tree house.
