Life brings changes. You might start school, get a new teacher, or move house. Change is a normal part of growing up. It can feel exciting or hard, or both.
Mia got a new baby brother. She felt happy, but also a little sad. She missed having her mom all to herself. Both feelings are okay to have.
When a change feels hard, talk to someone you trust. That could be a parent, teacher, or grown-up. Talking helps feelings feel smaller.
Change is normal, so keep a routine and talk to someone you trust.
