Ep 73: How to transition a child into daycare according to research with Cindy Hovington

Guest: Dr. Cindy Hovington, Ph.D.

Summary:

Transitioning into daycare can be stressful for both the parents and the child. In today's episode (the final episode of season 3!), I discuss the research around daycare transitions also known as the adaptation phase.

I discuss how to help a child build a connection with their new caregiver and what I believe should be the procedure in all daycares.

If your daycare can't allow you to join your child at the daycare, I offer alternatives to help minimize the stress for your child on their first day. Whether you have a baby, toddler, preschooler or your child is starting daycare, preschool, or meeting a new nanny, this episode will be your guide!
