Helping Kids Cope with Big Life Changes

Life changes are inevitable, but that doesn’t make them any easier for children (or us, adults) to manage. Structure and stability feel safe to children, so new experiences like divorce, moving, attending a new school, or welcoming a baby sibling can be scary.
When we face changes, we develop the skills of RESILIENCE. By navigating and growing from these experiences, we strengthen and train our “resilience muscle.”
Children who are new to major life changes need extra support in addressing their feelings, understanding and adjusting to change, and learning new strategies and skills along the way. 
Remember that children feel OUR emotions, so start by acknowledging and regulating your own feelings about the big change. Once you are ready to guide your child through this time of transition, you can use effective strategies that will help your child feel safe, adjust, and build resilience. Connecting with your child is one of the important steps in heling your child to cope with changes.
