The Avocado Parenting Thread Transitions

Hello fellow parents and caregivers of children!

There are a bunch of new parents here (raises hand) and there are plenty of veteran parents, as well as people who have experience caring or helping to care for children, like teachers, baby-sitters, aunts, and uncles. Coming together will help all of us, whether we need advice, commiseration, or just a space to let it out. Being a caregiver of small humans can be hard, but also rewarding and wonderful, so we can also share in the joys of watching little humans get to be big humans.

Suggested topic: Transitions

Last week we talked about potty training, which is a big transitional step, from diapers to toilets. There are many other transitions in our lives, like starting school, changing schools, finishing school, learning to drive. What sort of transitions are your kids going through and how are you helping them? What transitions have you/they really struggled with? Which (if any) have been easier than you expected?
