Hi Elizabeth,
Thank you for reaching out and asking these great questions! It is okay for the transition to slow down to provide more learning opportunities (as long as it doesn't slow down so much that children are left with nothing to do). In 2nd Edition specifically, it is less about how long the transition takes and more about how effective and organized it is. So, if the children know what to do, are engaged in conversation, and are moving through the transition, then it should not impact the productivity score negatively. It is fine to coach around the domain level, but that can often be too big of a chunk and harder to implement. Think about something like atomic habits or baby steps... it is often easier for humans to make behavior changes if something small is built on something they are already doing rather than changing everything at once. Let me know if that helps, and don't hesitate to reach out if you need assistance with anything!
Warmly,
