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.
