Change: For Better or Worse


We hear a lot these days, that we must have “change”. As adults, we can listen to the options, and make choices. But for children transformations just occur, without their input. Change can be upsetting, scary and even life-changing to children and adults. As great/grandparents we can help provide some balance and security to the changes and adjustments children and their families may have to face.
