Today we’re talking about transitions.

For many special needs families, transitions are where the day is won or lost.

Not because our kids are trying to be difficult.

Or because they’re being stubborn.

And not because we, as parents, have somehow failed to teach them better.

Transitions require flexibility, communication, emotional regulation, trust, and the ability to shift from what is happening now to what is coming next.

And for many of our kids, those are exactly the areas where they need extra support.

So today, we’re going to talk about why transitions can be so hard, what they can feel like for our kids, what they can feel like for us as parents, and how we can create a little more calm in the middle of those in-between moments.

Because sometimes the hardest part of the day isn’t the activity itself.

It’s getting from one thing to the next.
