"Nomadic people (or nomads) are people who move from one place to another, instead of living in one place." - Wikipedia
I recently had a conversation with someone who was reflecting on their childhood which included no stability. They were adamant to not repeat the same behavior with their children. Yet, they have already moved four times in the past two years. Believe it or not, some people move twice a year. Yes this nomadic behavior can occur in one city - from neighborhood to neighborhood with no true place to call home. I don't think parents know how much moving around some many times, impact their children. At some point they (the children) realize that they will not be stable in one place to long - so they may not form friendships, out of fear of not being able to maintain them. They wonder if they will ever have any stability. Will they stay anywhere long enough to truly call home? Usually, with address changes come new schools, new teachers, and new learning environments. With so much change and lack of stability - the learning process can be so much more difficult for the child(ren). I personally have always wanted my kids to have as much stability as possible. Once my kids are all grown up and have moved away, then I may move to another location (including state). We have been in out home over 13 years and they have had stability. Although our neighbors have changed over time, we find comfort in coming home. One thing for sure, if I do decide to move - my next move will be my final move. A nomadic lifestyle is most certainly NOT for me. People who lack home stability, usually lack stability in other facets of life, such as their career, relationships and overall commitment. Anyway - to each their own...
