In early childhood and with neurodivergent individuals, transitions are often a big focus—but what if rushing through them misses something important?
The “In Between” is more than just a pause; it’s the space where our brain and body shift gears. For neurodivergent children and adults, this can be especially significant. It’s a moment to pause, recalibrate, and communicate with our minds and bodies. But when we push too quickly through transitions, we can make these moments feel overwhelming or uncomfortable.
Lately, I’ve noticed that when we slow down and honor the “In Between,” transitions become smoother—not just for neurodivergent individuals but for everyone. Instead of treating it as something to hurry through, what if we gave it the respect and attention it deserves?
💡 Relishing the In Between might be the key to making transitions less stressful and more meaningful. Let’s slow down and appreciate these moments, especially for those who need it most.
