đ Weekend transitions donât have to be perfectâthey just need to feel safe.
If your child seems emotional, withdrawn, clingy, or frustrated after a weekend transition, remember that behavior is often communication. Theyâre adjusting between two homes, two routines, and sometimes two very different environments.
You can make that transition easier by staying calm, keeping routines consistent, and giving your child space to express their feelings without pressure. A little extra patience today can help your child feel secure tomorrow.
The goal isnât a perfect transitionâitâs helping your child know they are loved, supported, and safe wherever they are.
