Justin’s parents and I worked on ways to increase predictability and transparency in his daily life. Predictability is understandable. By transparency I mean that we, as adults, have an understanding of how our day may proceed. No matter how hectic it promises to be, we can picture how it might play out. Children need some level of that clarity. They may not be in control of their day, but they need some access to the “picture,” the understanding of how it might proceed.
