Adapting To Change

Adapting To Change

While children can be very good at adjusting to new situations, change and uncertainty can sometimes lead to anxiety. We hope our tips below help you and your children adapt to current changes as smoothly as possible. Things like starting school or changing classes is a big thing and we can help! Here are some things we offer and things we advise to help your little one through an uncertain situation.

Providing familiarity- keeping something normal in the schedule can often scale down how big the change feels, sticking to The Little Gym Classes could be a great opportunity to implement this.

Reassurance- simply talking about things in a positive manner. There’s always something to be positive about even if it’s the smallest things, your child will pick up on the manner and tone in which things are said and so if you’re reacting positively to a change their feelings may be reciprocated.

Keep in touch- we know it’s often hard to organize friendly meetups, play dates or even just coffee but this is a great way for your child to build on their social skills with other children and be exposed to as well as learning different emotion. This may also help their ability to react accordingly to change.
