It’s time to be a big kid

Written by renowned child psychologist Lawrence Shapiro, the Transition Times series offers charmingly illustrated storybooks for handling some of the major transitions of childhood. Books in the series include It’s Time to Sleep in Your Own Bed, It’s Time to Give Up Your Pacifier, It’s Time to Sit Still in Your Own Chair, and It’s Time to Start Using Your Words. Virtually every child will have difficulty with at least one transition, and this series provides a gentle way for parents to help children through these periods. At the end of each story, Shapiro offers parents step-by-step guidance for helping their children make a smooth, tantrum-free transition.
