Navigating Change
From welcoming a new baby to end of school year, transitions are everywhere
Hi Everyone!
For many of you, school is out and summer is in full swing. For others, the transition to summer is still on the horizon. For those with a consistent care all year long you’re getting ready to navigate the tricky steps of moving up to the next, more advanced room in your child’s preschool or childcare center.
However you’re coming into this season, let’s take hold together of the opportunities to reflect, learn, and grow.
On the Blog
This month, we welcome back Susan A. Johns for her latest thoughts on the seasonal and annual transitions that we go through. Susan shares how her family is handling some of these transitions with tips for helping you reflect through the seasonal changes and some ideas for traditions and ceremonies that help our little ones mark their own growth and change in developmentally supportive ways.
Are you becoming a parent soon? This is one of the biggest life changes of all - joining a PEPS group can help you find connection and support throughout this season of transition.
