Some Things Change...Some Things Stay the Same

Thoughts for the Week:

Children experience many changes in their lives, from everyday transitions to major life adjustments, like when there's a new baby, a move, a parent's new job, or divorce. Along with helping children understand some of the changes in the world around them, we can also help them see that some things stay the same. For example, when we change the way we look on the outside, we're still the same person inside. Keeping routines consistent, helping children know what to expect, and offering extra comfort when a child is in need, can give children the stability to handle changes that come their way.
