Ability to Accept Change
Ask yourself: How easily does my child accept changes?
What would happen if she had to go to new childcare or someone new were to watch her? Is he friendly with new children? What would happen if we moved to a new house or apartment? If everything in her room were moved around, would she be upset?
A child who Enjoys Change:
- May wander off if not watched in a store or crowd.
- Likes to explore new places.
- Will easily meet and accept new people.
- May become bored with the same things.
A child who Prefers the Familiar:
- Becomes shy with new people and places.
- Likes his toys, room, and teachers to stay the same.
- Needs more time to deal with change.
