When things change, you might feel nervous, excited, or even a little sad all at the same time. Your tummy might feel funny, and you might miss the way things used to be. These feelings are completely normal and show that you care!
When things change, talking about your feelings with a grownup helps you feel much better. You can also find something fun in the new situation, like making a new friend or exploring a new place. Bringing something familiar with you, like a favorite toy or book, can help you feel more comfortable too!
