A new school, a move across town, a change at home, or the loss of someone loved can turn a child’s whole world upside down. Even when adults handle every detail well, children often feel the change long before they can explain it. Start by naming what is happening in simple, honest words, then invite your child to show how they feel. A Feeling Face makes this easy: a child who cannot say “I am worried” can still point to the face that matches the feeling inside. Keep routines steady where you can, offer small choices so your child feels some control, and check in again a few days later. Big feelings do not disappear on the first conversation, and coming back to them shows a child that it is safe to keep talking.
