✨ Why Explanations Matter ✨

Imagine walking into a room full of strangers, with no idea what’s happening or what’s expected of you. Overwhelming, right? Now imagine you’re a child, trying to navigate the world with even less life experience to lean on.

That’s why preparing kids for events—big or small—makes all the difference. Explaining what’s coming gives them:
✅ Predictability: Knowing what to expect reduces anxiety.
✅ A Sense of Control: They feel more confident when they understand the plan.
✅ Room to Ask Questions: Prepping ahead opens the door for curiosity and clarity.

Whether it’s a birthday party, a trip to the dentist, or just a grocery run, a simple heads-up can help your child feel safe and supported. You’re not just sharing information—you’re building trust. 💬💖
