"There are at least two kinds of transitions in young children’s experience:
1) Major transitions, such as children entering child care, preschool or school
2) Moving from one segment or part of the day to another."
– ‘Transitions’ by Anne Stonehouse http://www.rch.org.au/emplibrary/ecconnections/FS20_transitions.pdf
This post provides resources about the second kind of transition that is part of the daily routine. I'm new to this so please any feedback would be greatly appreciated!
