One of the most prominent factors in our children’s lives today is change. Whether it is a young newcomer to our community or a child that has been born here, change is inevitable. Technology, the economy, social media and many other factors have greatly affected the world in which they live. As educators and parents, we must prepare our children for a world very different than the one we experienced as children. This calls for a change in the way we educate and parent. Change can be very unsettling and threatening for children and sometimes more so for adults. Humans are predisposed to want to have their lives stay the same. But that is not realistic or healthy. We need to empower our youth to embrace and accept change. This is vital to their success and the success for our community as a whole. There are several strategies to create a healthy climate for change.
