Tips for transitioning two year olds to toddler bed?

New bedding they pick out and hype them up. Make the change early in the day then let them just hang out and play with it.
I just stuck my kids in their beds one day. Made a big deal about how exciting it was to get their big boy/big girl beds. Got them new sheets and comforters in their favorite theme. None of my kids ever had any issues. I think my second boy I tried once and realized it wasn’t going to work but I had one of those cribs that you could take a wall off the crib and turn it into a bed. So I just put it back and tried again in a few months and he was fine.
You can make their crib into a toddler bed usually. That may help because it’s already an old friend
I started with having it by my bed for about 2 weeks so she was able to fully get used to it. Then moved it into her room, I stayed in there until she fell asleep and did have to comfort her a couple of times a night for about another week. She got used to sleeping in her own bed in her own room after 3ish weeks. It takes time.
