Transition Challenge

Whining and complaining can sometimes be diminished with how transitions are handled.

You can help make these routine changes a little easier on your children by helping them with transitions!

 

What

What are transitions?

Transitions are the little pieces of time when changing from one activity to another.

Children do not naturally have this luxury.
