For many families, the hardest moments of the day aren't the big ones — they're the transitions.
Leaving school, stopping a game, getting ready for dinner or bedtime…
For children aged 5 to 8, these shifts can feel overwhelming.
Storytelling offers a simple and gentle way to help children move from one moment to another.

Children don't switch contexts as easily as adults.
Their emotions often lag behind the schedule.
That's why transitions can trigger:
They don't need more rules — they need help crossing the moment.
Stories Create a Safe "In-Between" Space
Stories act as a bridge.
They help children:
