Choices and change

Having routines, familiar surroundings, and clear expectations can help children feel safe and comfortable. However, life is always changing, and children often face new situations and transitions.

For some children, especially those who think and experience the world differently, these changes can be really hard and may cause them to feel upset.

This information aims to help you understand why managing and adapting to change can be difficult for some children and provides practical strategies to support them.

The purpose isn’t to change who they are, but to help them feel more confident and able to deal with change more easily.
