When I get the hang of something, sooner or later there is a change in program. When I start to feel comfortable, it seems like there is going to be a shift. It is not easy to accept change. Yet, everything changes. Too many changes all at once are not good. It can be difficult to keep up. In changing the program or activities for kids, I feel it is important to do it slowly.
Adjustments in minor increments are easier to manage than multiple tasks at once. It can be detrimental to change too many things at once. It can overload the brain. Even adults cannot multitask.
It is not nice to change up some things without warning. It can shock people and kids. A gentle warning and an ease into the circumstances is preferred for some personalities. Some things are best administered quickly like a shot.
Changing too many things at once could be scary for children. It could completely disorient them. Kids can thrive in most environments, except ones without routines. Some routines are necessary for a sense of security. Routines can ground kids and adults. Changing programs or our way of life can be a good thing.
