Helping Your Child Make Transition From Nursery To Big Kid Room

Making the switch from the nursery to a big kid room is exciting for children but, often difficult for the parents. This can be a fun adventure for both if the child is involved in the totally process such as choosing themes, colors and bedding. There are hundreds of options for the decorations so providing them with only a few choices will not overwhelm them.

When the day comes to take down the baby cribs it sometimes helps the children feel more involved if they are present during this part of the process. Explain to them that they will have a big new bed that they can help pick out. Remove all items that portray the room as a nursery in order to make room for their new big kid stuff.

When shopping for the new bed it is important that the children go shopping as well and be involved in choosing which one they want. Most kids will be drawn to items such as a loft bed, but it is best to get one of the smaller toddler beds for safety.

When you have decided on the theme for the new bedroom, let the child help pick out the quilt sets in order to give them a sense of it being their choice. There are numerous of cute styles available including their favorite cartoon characters.

As the child ages there are going to be more toys and educational items collecting in their room so getting a few of the bright colored containers and baskets will provide a place for them to keep items organized. Let them choose which color for the item to be stored in as it will help them to remember where everything goes.

Purchasing the brightly colored child hangers also will help them to want their clothes to be hung in the closet as opposed to laying around. Instead of buying new dressers often times by applying a coat of new paint to the old ones with new pulls, the child will think they have all new furniture.

After all of the accessories have been purchased, it will be time to choose the paint color. They will feel a part of the process if taken to the home improvement store and allowed to choose the color. To make the choice an easy one, choose two or three paint chips and have the child choose between them. When the child has been involved in the transformation it makes it easier for them to adjust to their new big kid room.
