It’s tricky for some

While summer is awesome, it’s full of transitions that can throw routines out of whack. Change can be tricky for some kids and adults, and just like any executive function skill, navigating shifts in routine takes practice. As transitions appear on the horizon this summer, talk about and preview what’s coming next. Knowing what’s in store day-to-day and week-to-week eases anxiety, gives your child a chance to ask questions, and gives them a measure of control, making summer as smooth and easy as a cool afternoon breeze.
