Transitions can be tough for kids.
Mindful transitions make change easier and less stressful.
Here’s how:

It makes transitions more playful.

Empathize with their feelings before moving on.

“Do you want to put away the toys first or your art supplies?”
Giving choices makes kids feel empowered.
5. Stay Calm Yourself
Your energy sets the tone.
Breathe, smile, and move through transitions patiently.
