My family moved several times when I was a child.... It depends on the child if it affects them positively or negatively. My brother turned out to be super out going can walk in a room and make "friends" and adjust immediately. As for me...I have a fear or losing people, just as you get close things "end". I am way more introverted and don't have all of the social skills my brother has but I am very flexible and adapt to change well.
I wish in had more stability and had friends from my early years that I was still friends with now. There are some things my brother didn't like as well as a result of moving so much. But we both agree that we wouldn't be as well rounded and have certain skills if we hadn't moved so much. So I understand SPs point... I think it depends on the child and the family as a whole on how the child adjusts.
