Struggling with transitions at home?  A transition is any time a child is required to move from one activity to another, like playtime to dinner time.  A helpful tool used during transitions in childcare settings and schools is a visual timer. 

Before children learn how to tell time, visual timers provide a visual cue of how much time is left - "When the blue disappears, it's time to ________."  They're especially effective when used consistently.  

They create predictability and can help children move through the schedule of the day a little easier.  They're perfect for helping to manage routines at home.   

Use a visual timer for signaling the end of an activity, independent playtime, taking turns, playing games, taking breaks, in the kitchen, etc.
