OM DENNE EPISODE
Why do some kids completely fall apart when it’s time to leave the playground, get ready for school, or switch activities? We dive into why transitions are particularly difficult for some kids and what parents can do to make them easier.
Here's what we discuss in this episode:
- how anxiety, ADHD, autism, and OCD can cause unique issues with transitions
- reframing a child’s behavior as a "signal" to help parents focus on the underlying problem
- how parents can validate emotions while still setting clear boundaries
- practical strategies for helping kids transition, including verbal "previews," visual schedules and timers, and predictable routines
