Transitions get a bad reputation: rushed, chaotic, stressful. But they don’t have to be. In this episode, Carla explores a powerful mindset shift: transitions aren’t the thing before the next thing. They are learning.
Carla breaks down how slowing down, pausing before stepping in, and leading with empathy can transform the way children experience transitions. She talks about why a bit of struggle is healthy, how to support children before they become dysregulated, how subtle language shifts build independence, and where flexibility (and the occasional “yes”) can make all the difference.
If transitions feel difficult in your day, this episode will help you see them with fresh eyes — and bring a lot more calm, connection, and understanding into your classroom.
