Having to switch between activities (especially from an enjoyable one to a less enjoyable one) can be really difficult and lots of things during this switch can make kids feel frustrated, overwhelmed, or worried. 😩😣 Not all "transition tips and tricks" help all kids. It's so important to tap into what our child is feeling during these transitions to be able to think through WHY the transition is difficult. Understanding that WHY allows us to find more effective strategies to support our children during hard moments. 💡 Transitions can be particularly hard for younger children and those with developmental differences (e.g., ADHD, autism) due to less cognitive flexibility, less developed emotion regulation skills etc. Working on building stronger executive functioning and emotional awareness during other times of the day can also help with these harder transition moments!
