Help!

I was wonder if anyone could help me understand, My ten year old hates surprises, he had a meltdown over not knowing the details of a walk, I said I might take them on (didn’t want to tell details incase, I couldnt manage to take them) 

This lead to major distress, can anyone here help me understand from his point of view? 

New here, and on this journey too.

  • For me, I like to know what’s going to happen. If I don’t I worry a lot. I even dress for the occasion, know what to take and I can plan my escape if I don’t like it.

    if I was going out with friends and plans changed I would panic.

    Your son probably doesn’t understand why he’s getting upset but he will understand all of that when he’s older
