Change and transitions are inevitable but can be an overwhelming and intimidating time for children. Facilitating the healthy management of transitions is crucial for the social, psychological, and emotional wellbeing and resilience in children. Based on over thirty years of expertise experience, Deborah Plummer provides varied and straightforward activities for teachers, parents, and therapists to healthily engage with children and help them process and manage transitions. This activity book aids children in identifying their worries and fears about transitions and facilitates them in building skills and strategies that help them to cope during times of change. It also encourages children to explore the potential benefits and enjoyment that can sometimes be a result of change.
