Transitions and Challenging Behaviors

Transitions in early childhood can be a difficult time for our littles and can sometimes result in challenging behaviors. Transitions occur any time children move from one activity to another. Moving from playtime to cleanup or dinner time to bath time are just a few examples of transitions in a typical daily schedule but they can also involve activities happening on the move like leaving the library to go to the grocery store.

I definitely did not think it would have taken me five months to find something that actually worked for me. And let me tell you, it’s been a weird and stinky five months! 🙂

Eco-Friendly Kitchen Swaps for Beginners

Making eco-friendly swaps around the house isn’t always easy and trust me when I say that I know what an investment they can be at the beginning. I started my household swaps a year ago and have put all of these products (any many more that didn’t make the list) to the test.
