In this episode I talk about transition.
There is a really important technique you can use to reduce the tantrums when you want to move your children from one activity to another.
They're playing blissfully in their room and you know it's nearly bath time. You become anxious at the very thought that it is going to kick off again. Wouldn't it be easier to let them be and just have 5 more valuable minutes to enjoy the peace and quiet?!
No....you know they have to go to bed. You've got to do this!
Instead of embracing the usual scenario of agonisingly moving your children on from an activity and doing something you want them to, try this simple way of giving them time and advance warning that something is going to change.
Their brain needs to process the information before they are able to break from one activity to another, especially when it's not as half as much fun as what they are already doing!
I hope you enjoy this and put it in to practice.
Let me know how it goes.
Enjoy!
