Five ways to get your parents ready before you move abroad.

 Moving abroad can be exciting, full of new opportunities, with a bright future. But, if you ask your parents, it is a bitter-sweet experience for them. On the one hand, they have their kid's bright future to look forward to; on the other hand, the idea of you moving away for months at length can be quite daunting. 



So, what can you do to make this transition easy for them?


Here are a few things to do before moving abroad to ease your parents into this transition:


  1. Show them you are responsible:


Most Indian parents believe that their kids are helpless without their presence. It gives them a reason to worry about your life in an entirely new city or country. Change that! Take responsibility for your life and actions. Start small, like making your bed, managing and saving your pocket money or income, neatly completing tasks asked of you. 


  1. Discuss your plans with them:


Every little detail matters here. The more you discuss your plans, the better they are aware of your future which will help them understand why you must move abroad. It will also put their mind at ease, knowing what you are up to a good start. 


  1. Become financially educated and independent:


A new country means entirely different rules and banking processes. Get yourself acquainted with your finances, get yourself an NRO savings account or NRE savings account. This way, your parents will be aware that you plan on living a sustainable lifestyle and being sincere about your life there. 


Get on your feet and start becoming financially independent as soon as possible, be it by taking up a part-time job or an internship. This way, you put less pressure on your parents and feel proud that you are working hard. You also start to value hard-earned money.


  1. Help your parents figure out technology:


Ever-evolving technology feels overwhelming to your parents. Help your parents understand how to use various devices and apps to make them feel connected to you even if you are far away. It might make them worry less about your well-being as well. 



  1. Ease into the process of moving abroad:


Moving abroad for a job, for college, or any other reason, cannot be a snap decision. It requires resources, strength, and financial ability to move abroad. Plan your process and execute it right. Keep your parents in the loop, so it does not come as a surprise to them. Make them comfortable with the idea of you moving away every day by taking baby steps during the process. 


Final Words: 


These are just a few simple things to do before moving abroad to better prepare your parents for your move. Keep an open mind and communication clear about the entire process and the transition will be just fine. Comment below anything that you did, that made you're moving out change easier on your parents.
