There are a variety of transitions we experience on a daily basis, so many that the list goes on and on… let’s take a closer look at how common, everyday transitions differ, so we can appropriately support children’s experiences throughout their early education and care.  

Self-regulation strategies are promoted throughout a child’s entire educational journey, but it’s important to trace back the roots to where this all begins, to manage and sustain effective emotional management with maximum impact.
