I have no idea if this will be helpful because I don't work with tiny people (small ones, yes sometimes, tiny ones, no) but one of the things we do with kids who are freaked out by change is to tell them social stories before the change happens. So, like:

"OK, we are going to go to the mall. We are going to get our jackets and ride in the the car for a little while and then go to the mall and look at some clothes and maybe go to the toy store if you are good. It might rain but that is OK because we have our jackets and because we will dry off quickly. And then when we get to the car I will turn on the heat and we will be warm and dry. Then when we get to the mall, it might be a little noisy, but that is OK because the noise is mostly just people who are happy and talking to eachother, just like us, and we like happy people..."
