Soothing Transitions
Life with young children is full of “in between” moments: saying goodbye at school, leaving the playground, getting ready for bed.
Those moments can feel huge to a young child and often show up as tantrums, clinginess, or power struggles. Soothing Transitions will offer you a softer, more grounded, and more connected experience with your child during transitions

ADD TO CART“Somer has opened our eyes to ways of parenting that continue to feel revelatory each day. She has a kind, gentle spirit and generously offers guidance filled with insight and without judgement. In my support calls with Somer, she has suggested ideas that go far beyond solving individual obstacles, and focus on creating a family culture with long lasting impact. I have often been simultaneously floored at the level of profundity of her teachings, and at how simple and accessible it all can be. Somer’s deep understanding of both childhood and parenthood is a divine gift, ”

What you’ll learn:
You’ll discover how:
- Transitions are experienced by young children as leaving something known for something unknown
- The “space in between” can feel ungrounding and why that often shows up as resistance or big emotions
- A few simple choices in how you move from one activity to the next can ease tension for both of you
You’ll also explore how:
- Your presence becomes the “bridge” that holds together the past activity and what’s coming next
- Attuning to your child’s state helps you meet them before things boil over
- Small, predictable cues can make common transitions like leaving play, mealtimes, and bedtime feel more manageable
What you’ll walk away with
By the end, you’ll have:
- A clearer understanding of why transitions are so hard for young children
- A handful of simple, repeatable ways to hold transitions that reduce friction and increase connection
- A new way to see these “in between” moments: not as empty gaps to push through, but as opportunities to meet, anchor, and soothe your child
It probably goes without saying, but the mini-courses and parent coaching are for educational purposes only. While I have a M.Ed. in Waldorf Early Childhood Education and over 20 years of experience with young children and their parents, I am not a medical professional and do not offer medical or psychiatric diagnosis or advice.
