Age range: 3-6

Theme Area: Talking about Growing

Related Episode: Room for a Change

Subjects/Skills: Sense of Self

Materials Needed:
Family photos

Directions:
Look through some family photos together. As you look, talk about how people and things have changed.

Talk about the many ways that your child has changed since she was a baby. Then talk about other changes that have occurred in her life, for example, moving to a new home, starting school, making a new friend, and so on. Help your child see the good side of change by saying things like, "Wow, that was a big change when you started going to school all day instead of for a few hours. But you really liked your teacher in that class. And you've made so many friends, and learned so many new things. That was really a good change!"

Ask your child to point out some changes that she sees when she looks through the pictures. Ask her to describe the changes, and to talk about the good parts of the change.
