Supporting Smooth Transitions

Ever struggled to get your child to leave the park, pack up a toy, or adjust to a new routine without big emotions or meltdowns?

In this episode of Talking Together, we unpack why transitions can be tough for kids and share strategies to make them easier.

Learn how to:
• Avoid common mistakes (bribes, countdown pressure, and more)
• Use visuals, songs, and sensory input to prepare for change
• Co-regulate during big feelings
• Create safe, predictable routines while still teaching flexibility

Whether it’s moving between activities, leaving daycare, or starting school, these practical tools will help you and your child feel regulated and more connected through every transition.
