What Changes? What’s the Same?
In every adventure, some things change, but others stay the same.
When a big change happens, it may seem like everything is new and different—and overwhelming! Remind children that some things have stayed the same, like family traditions or routines, and some things are sort of the same, like a new ice cream shop for the weekly family treat. Use this page to help children list what’s changed and what’s the same.
