What Changes and What Stays the Same?
Your family has already experienced many changes, and change may continue to be a big part of your family’s story.
It can be comforting to remember that not everything changes. Remind children that even though many things have changed and will continue to change, some things will always stay the same.
Together, list examples:
- I am still me.
- We are still together.
- We can still laugh and smile together.
- We can still dream of the future.
There are routines that can stay the same, too—you can say hello to the sun and goodnight to the moon, you can sing the same song as you go outside together every morning, and you can tell your family that you love them.
