Your Parenting Long Game

Episode 338: Struggling with Transitions? Why What You’ve Tried Isn’t Working


Listen Later

Children with big emotions often struggle with transitions: Getting out of the house in the morning, stopping what they’re doing to go to the dinner table or to get ready for bed. They may even resist leaving the house when they have something fun to do, like a birthday party! When nothing seems to motivate them, we can feel confused and frustrated. Fortunately, there is something that we can do to help our children with transitions, and it’s easier than you might think.

In this episode, you’ll learn: 

  • Why transitions are difficult for our children (it’s not just that they don’t feel like going to the next thing)

  • Why traditional strategies like logic and rewards don’t work for children with big emotions

  • Two things we can do to make transitions easier for our kids (and us!), with real-life examples
