What's Your Default Move When a Schedule Change Sparks a Meltdown?

It can feel heavy when plans shift and your child has a hard time adjusting.

Real life does not cooperate. Schedules change. Plans shift. Things go differently than your child pictured in their mind. And when your child can't shift gears mentally, every situation feels 10 times harder, for them and for you.

Here's the part most parents miss: Kids who feel things strongly often need extra support to learn to think more flexibly.

In those moments, they aren't being "dramatic" on purpose. They're uncomfortable, so they try to control the situation back into the version they believe will feel better.

This quiz helps you pinpoint your current pattern when plans change, and shows you the next step to do instead: a quick, practical way to build your child's flexible thinking so it actually sticks.
