🎒 Transitions can be tough! If you’ve worked with kids, you know how tricky it can be to move from one activity to the next without meltdowns or chaos. It's a HUGE part of what we work on in the educational setting -- transitioning kids into school, out of school at the end of the day, between classroom and specials, etc. 😅

That’s why having a few go-to strategies in your back pocket can make all the difference. Whether it’s a calming technique, a visual cue, or a fun movement break—being prepared is everything. 🙌

We pulled together some of our favorite tools and ideas to make transitions smoother and more successful.

💬 What tricks do YOU use to help kids through tough transitions? Share your favorites below—we’d love to hear them!

Not all kids love hugs—and that’s okay! 💛

If your little one pulls away from a squeeze or avoids cuddles, try offering a hug alternative that still shows love and connection, like:

🤜 Bumping fists
🖐️ High fives
🌀 Secret handshakes
👍🏼 Thumbs Up
🫶 Heart hands

Everyone has different comfort zones when it comes to touch—let’s help kids express affection in ways that feel just right for them. 💫

Play supports emotional expression, problem solving, behavioral regulation, and motor skills. Play supports development...
..but it’s so much more.
It’s where kids explore, imagine, take risks, and discover who they are, not just what they can do.

Let’s protect the joy of play, not just the outcomes. Because through play, children aren’t practicing for life. They’re living it. 💛This is PLAY in occupational therapy! https://www.theottoolbox.com/occupational-therapy-play/
