Lesson Overview

7.10 – Helping Kids Transition Between Daily Activities: Transitions can be surprisingly stressful for children, especially those who rely on predictability. Moving from playtime to homework or bedtime can trigger resistance or tears. Helping kids transition smoothly begins with giving clear warnings and visual cues. Countdown timers or simple phrases like “five more minutes” help prepare the brain for change. Using consistent routines creates a rhythm children can rely on. Parents can add positive reinforcement after transitions, like praise or a small comfort. Emotional coaching during transitions teaches patience and adaptability. When handled calmly, these moments become lessons in self-regulation rather than power struggles. The key is empathy—acknowledging that shifting gears takes practice. Over time, children learn to handle life’s changes with greater ease and independence.
