My Change Plan: A Self-Regulation Worksheet for Coping with Change

This printable change plan helps children identify what is changing, name how they feel, and choose supports such as taking slow breaths or staying near a trusted grown-up. Children can point, draw, or tell as they practise expressing emotions and selecting coping strategies for transitions and other changes. Use it to prepare for a new routine, a change in caregivers or location, or to support a child who feels worried or unsure. The worksheet also offers reassuring words adults can use to help children feel safe one step at a time.
