Helping a child who struggles with transitions can be one of the biggest challenges for parents. Whether it is moving from playtime to homework, getting ready for bed, or switching between activities at school, these transitions can trigger frustration, resistance, or even emotional meltdowns. That’s why it is necessary for parents to step up their game by using proactive strategies that create structure, predictability, and emotional support.

By understanding why transitions are difficult and using simple, consistent strategies, families can reduce stress and create a more peaceful daily rhythm. Join me in this episode as I share practical tips to help your child move smoothly from one activity to the next, minimize meltdowns, and build essential self-regulation skills.
