Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Moving gradually into the transition by directing small groups of children to clean up can help ease the frustration and resistance. It allows the teacher to provide individual attention and support to each child during the transition, which can help decrease their anxiety and make them more willing to cooperate. Planning additional transitions throughout the day or setting consequences may not address the underlying issue of why children are resisting the transition, and planning fewer blocks of playtime may not provide enough opportunities for children to engage in sustained play.
