Early Childhood Transitions

To transition means to change, and there are a lot of changes that happen in a child’s life! From physical changes as they develop and grow to changes in environments, routines, relationships, and more.

Experiencing Big & Small Changes

There are small everyday transitions, such as going from play time to bedtime; there are big life transitions like bringing a new sibling into the family or starting school. But big or small, kids have a lot of feelings about transitions, and everyone experiences transitions differently, which can make them a challenge!

Adults play an important role in supporting kids through transitions, helping to make the experiences as positive as possible. We have gathered expert advice and created a series of resources that will help guide your family through some transitions you will experience together.
