The Transition Warning Card

"Five more minutes" sounds kind. For a lot of neurodivergent kids, it's the start of the meltdown. Minutes are invisible, the warning lands as a threat, and the switch still comes as a shock.

This 8-page card gives you a better way to move your child from one thing to the next.

Inside you'll get:

• Why "five more minutes" fails, in plain language
• A four-step warning you can use anywhere: Notice, End point, Bridge, Move together
• 12 phrase swaps: what you usually say, and what to try instead
• Five troubleshooting fixes for when it still goes wrong
• A fill-in table to map your child's hardest transitions
• Two cut-out cards for the fridge and your bag
