Emotional Education : Oils for Transition

This time of year is full of transitions- back to school, changing routines, newer fast-paced schedules, uncertainty with school schedules, etc. Sometimes our kids (and even us as parents!) cannot transition well, and change is just plain hard!

Let's chat about what a transition is: It's anything that changes from what was expected or even the changing from one event/activity to another. Going from playing to nap times, going from home to school, dealing with not doing well on a test, things being different this year from last, making new friends....all are transitions!

Also, from a scientific standpoint- Transitions are all micro-stressors. They can trigger our bodies fight/ flight/ or freeze response. Some oils are extremely helpful in getting the body out of that stress response and we have these on hand in key transition places (i.e. the car🚗) and in key transition moments (i.e. going from play/work to sleep or starting something new like homework). -Eryn Jones
