What is uncertainty and why is it so hard for children?

Uncertainty is anything that makes us feel unsure or anxious about the future. It can be caused by anything from a big life change, like moving to a new home or starting a new school, to something smaller, like a test or a performance.

Uncertainty is especially hard for children because they don't have the same life experience as adults. They haven't learned how to cope with difficult emotions or how to handle change. They also may not have the language to express what they're feeling.
