Is change hard for your child? Do they become upset when things within their daily routines change? Or do they begin to question you, “When are we going…..”, “Why are we……”, etc?  With summer approaching we wanted to take this opportunity to discuss an amazing transactional support that you may find helpful this summer, Countdown Calendars.  Countdown Calendars can help you and your child alleviate some of the stress that you may encounter throughout the year.  The idea of a Countdown Calendar is to countdown to an event.  This can be an event that your child is excited about, an event that your child is nervous about, an event that you want your child to experience, and more.
