Reducing Transition Stress
Transitions can be hard for children. Make them easier by:
- Keeping a consistent routine before and after
- Having children's things packed and ready
- Avoiding emotional conversations at exchange time
- Keeping exchanges brief and businesslike
- Not asking questions about the other household
Children often need 30-60 minutes to "transition" emotionally after exchanges. Give them space.
