Lesson Overview

7.52 – Helping Children Feel in Control During Transitions: Control during transitions helps children feel secure when routines shift. Give them small, predictable roles—like choosing a song for the car ride or packing their school bag. When kids participate, they feel ownership instead of resistance. Discuss changes beforehand to reduce surprises that trigger anxiety. Consistent rituals, like goodbye hugs or countdowns, help structure uncertainty. Parents should avoid rushing transitions; calm pacing teaches emotional regulation. Providing realistic choices creates confidence in their ability to adapt. Acknowledging their effort builds a sense of mastery even when outcomes differ. Over time, children learn that control doesn’t mean perfection—it means participation. Feeling involved helps them move through life’s changes with courage and grace.
