# 11 · What changed?

**Ten minutes · outdoor noticing / comparing.** **You need:** A safe place
to observe: a balcony with an adult, yard, park seat or window. Pick one
small scene, such as a tree, garden pot or patch of ground.

**Play:** Look once, turn away for a moment, then look again. Ask what is
different or still the same. Wind might move a leaf; a shadow might shift;
nothing obvious might change. That is still worth noticing.

**Adult says:** “What do you remember seeing?” “What do we see now?” “How
could we check?” Offer your own observation as a guess, not the answer.

**Child chooses:** Scene, length of pause, and whether to speak, point,
draw, touch a model or just watch.

**Notice:** What did they compare? Did they find a detail you missed or
decide the two views looked alike?

**Access and safety:** For low vision, compare a safe large object outdoors
by touch before and after it is moved, while saying that this is a model of
change. A seated or indoor view is fine. Stay away from roads, heights and
unknown plants. No screen is needed; two private photos are optional.
