The Handbook of Transitions Big and Small
Supporting children and young people to navigate change in education
Introduction by Andrea Perry.
Blurb
The Handbook of Transitions brings together in one book some of the key passages on change and transitions from Louise Michelle Bombèr’s best loved writing, updated for today’s demands and uncertainties. So that when you are thinking about transitions a child or young person may be facing, or if you have recognised that a child or young person you know is generally struggling with transitions at the moment, you’ll readily find thoughts and ideas to help you. Themes include the need for a deep sense of felt safety, through access to consistent, reliable, empathic adults, and a safe base: structure, issues such as power, choice and control, timing, transitional objects and rituals, interruptions, moving school, handling exclusions, and much more. You’ll also find thoughts around what these pupils need from the adults around them to support them to navigate transitions.
