#transitions

I have gone back to work full time and my almost 5yo son is not choosing me. He is only choosing dad. Help!

I recently started to work full time since my son was born and he and I are having difficulties transitioning to the new situation. He is almost 5 years old and this is also the first time he is going full time to school in a new place. He is experiencing a number of changes. He is manifesting his feelings by ignoring me, being disrespectful and not wanting me to put him in bed and read a story to him. Now he only wants his daddy to be with him and not me. I am so sad! What is the right thing to do?

I am struggling with my children's sleep and letting them know the nanny is leaving. Helpo!

I would love some sleeping advice. My oldest child 5.5yo and my youngest 2.5yo share a room at night. They each have their own bed. They fall asleep fairly normally… book, tucked in, rub back, fall asleep, I sneak out.
Somewhere around 11:45pm-2am my youngest will call me in to put the blanket on her, or my oldest will come and get me to rub her back or snuggle. This will continue through the night.
We are also in search of a new nanny. How do we tell our children?

My children are having tantrums when having to do something they don't want to do.

I need tips on how to deal with “don’t want to go to school today” or “don't want to go to sports, I'm tired' tantrums.
All they want to do (both of them) is stay on the couch, play Roblox or Minecraft.
How to convince them without threatening or forcing them to go?

Our vacation time is ending. What can I do to help my children transition back home?

Our time in California is winding down and their camp ends this week. The girls are so incredibly sad and I know there will be tears. They have made good friends over the last six weeks and they are already saying they don't want to go back to Miami, they don't want to go back to school etc.
My daughter feels it a lot more than her sister, she always cries when we have to say goodbye to her grandmother. What can I do to help them with this transition?

How and when do we change the bedtime routine for our children?

How can we change our children’s bedtime routine?
Can we stop staying with them until they fall asleep?
I am stuck between feeling like they need a little extra support right now and our own mental health.
And if we do, what does that look like respectively?
