Hi, Encourage your son to sleep alone in his room during daytime.Gradually you can make him sleep alone.You can stay with him in his room till he falls asleep.Give him reward whenever he sleeps alone for the first few days . Make his room comfortable with colours and lighting.Start with your son first and then with your daughter.

Hi
You want to encourage the older boy to sleep in his own bedroom. You don’t want to feel too stressed about the transition. Shifting to a new house is a significant change and it will take time for parents and kids to adjust in a new house.
You are worried about whether the older boy will adjust to a new routine of sleeping in his own bedroom. To feel calm you can consult a psychologist and explain about your worries about new routine in detail.
With a psychologist you can talk about the kids lifestyle and their sleeping pattern. Try to not stress too much.
Next Steps
Consult a psychologist
