Life is always changing. Sometimes that's great, but at other times it can make us feel unsure and worried.
What are life changes?
There can be lots of new things that happen in your life. Some can be really positive(积极的) things like joining a club or making a new friend. 41 They can be big things like moving schools, a friend going away or a close relative getting sick. They can also be smaller ones like new plans at home or a new teacher managing your class. 42
Why is it difficult to deal with changes?
Emily Hanlon explains, "Our brains love patterns (模式). When something changes, people can feel like stepping into the unknown. 43 This can make us feel worried because we don't know what to meet." Changes can also be hard if you don't feel quite ready for them or if you are not in control of what is happening.
44
Yes! Life would be pretty boring if everything stayed the same all the time. Trying new things makes you find out what you like and don't like.

A. They can make us feel safe.
B. Can changes be good for you?
C. Does everybody like changes?
D. It also helps you to grow and learn skills.
E. It's like going on a surprise trip without a map.
F. However, some changes can make you feel worried.
G. All of these things can cause some pretty big feelings.
