- Routines enable young children to anticipate what happens next and gives them a great deal of control over what they do during each part of the day.
- To give children a sense of knowing, adds to the predictability and can be used as valuable learning opportunities for children to explore and experiment in a safe and secure environment.
- Routines and transitions help children to develop self control, independence and decision making. Consistent daily routines support active learning.
- Consistency in routines and transitions support appropriate behaviour and a sense of independence for the children.

Strategies Include:

- Holding younger children while they say goodbye to their parents
- Getting children to wave to their parents from the window or at the gate
- Asking parents to sit their child at an activity table before they leave

Hope this helps,

It is not uncommon for educators to confide that transitions tend to be the most difficult time in a typical ECEC day. At such times children often display or increase the intensity of challenging behaviours like non-compliance, aggression, biting, and so on.

The following provides strategies for dealing with toddler and preschooler's difficult behaviour during transitions.

Child Behaviour: Transitions

Within an early childhood setting, throughout the day, children experience many transitions such as transitions that occur between activities or routines.
