In Between — A Grounded Parenting Guide to Transitions

Every day is full of them. Arrivals and departures. The moment nursery ends and home begins. The child who holds it together all day and falls apart the moment you walk through the door.

In Between is a research-informed guide for parents supporting young children through the transitions that thread through everyday life, not just the big ones like starting school, but the small, daily crossings that children can find surprisingly hard.

Across six chapters, it covers why transitions are genuinely difficult for young children's developing brains, what your own anxiety communicates to your child at handover, how to build rituals that steady children across threshold moments, and how to support the transitions that feel most pressing right now.

Transitions are not a problem to be solved. They are a feature of childhood to be understood, and when you understand them, everything shifts.

What's inside:

• 6 chapters covering the science and practice of supporting transitions
• Why young children find transitions harder than adults expect
• The role of parental calm and confidence at handover moments
• Practical rituals and language for the transitions that happen every day
• Research boxes with further reading throughout
