DD (10)likes to know exactly what is going to happen during the day, down to the minute. While we were on holiday recently we had things planned fairly well for her but threw in a couple of "Surprise Days" on the advice of her psychologist. She found this concept hard to deal with and was initially very anxious about the day, but she coped OK. We now have a "Surprise Morning" or "Afternoon" every few weekends so she can keep working on the idea of change is OK.
