Thank you for the tips! I went through the divorce. It helps me a lot with my two teenagers through transitions.

Thank you for these tips! We are transitioning out of soccer season in a couple weeks and it always takes a while for us to adjust to having my husband home in the evening again. He adds a different vibe to the house when he is home at 5:30 pm instead of 7:30. We also have our anniversary trip planned in a couple weeks where the kids are going to have my parents stay in our house all week. I’m sure they will be fine but it will definitely be a transition and we have never left them longer than a long weekend before.

Love this, thanks! My son just started 3k and even though he'd been in daycare before it was a huge, upsetting transition for him. It's been over a month and we still talk through his whole school day every morning - I think it's made a huge difference in his resistance to going to school.

My daughter is already worried about the transition to kindergarten next August (I am not surprised since her personality is very similar to mine and I worry about things a good year before at times). We are planning a tour of two possible campuses of a local Christian school next week so we talked to her about what to expect on our tour. My mother-in-law will also be moving out next week after living with us for four years (she sold her house when she retired and the rent around here for a halfway decent apartment is so insanely expensive, so she decided it made sense to live with us- she did pay some rent but we told her we were fine with whatever she felt like she wanted to give us since she felt like she couldn’t live here without chipping in). She is moving literally down the street and will still be in our neighborhood, but I know Hannah feels weird about the transition to not seeing her Granny every night and telling her about her day and kissing her good night.

Thank you for these tips- I am sure they will be helpful as we navigate transitions.
