From Little Shifts to Big Moves: Guiding Children Through Transitions

with Blanca Sanchez, Regina Lulka

Big or small, change is difficult - especially for young children.

Whether it’s starting school, moving to a new home, welcoming a sibling, or just shifting from playtime to mealtime… transitions can bring big feelings. And as adults, it’s not always easy to know how to help.

In this gentle, honest conversation, Regina and Blanca will guide us through how to support children emotionally and practically through life’s changes — from the everyday kind to the big, disruptive ones. You’ll leave feeling more prepared, grounded, and connected to your child’s needs in moments of transition.

Recognize Patterns, Shift Mindsets, and Regain Control:
Preparing for Change: Learn simple ways to gently prepare children for transitions—big or small—so they feel secure and grounded before the shift even begins.
Understanding Emotional Reactions: Explore what’s happening beneath behaviors like resistance, clinginess, or tantrums—and how to respond with clarity and calm.
Creating Safe, Predictable Rhythms: Use Montessori-informed tools and language to help your child feel safe, supported, and emotionally anchored during times of change.

Transitions are a part of every child’s life — but they don’t have to feel overwhelming.

This LiveTalk is for parents, caregivers, and educators who want to show up with more empathy, clarity, and confidence in moments that often feel chaotic. You’ll walk away with tools that are simple, respectful, and rooted in what children really need to feel safe through change.

Join us live and be part of the conversation.
