Types of transition
Description of the transition
Explain (how to give adult support for each transition)
Physical transition
A physical transition is something that every child goes through in their life, for example “Children attending a setting for the first time” (Walker, 2012, p44).
You could support a child going through this transition by staying with the child at the setting, until they are settled in to a activity or tell them that mummy or daddy will be back later to see you.
Physiological transition
A physiological transition is “puberty” (Walker, 2012, p144), something a child goes through around the age of 11 to 13, girls become women by the age of 16 and boys become men by the age of 16 and 17. …show more content…
The adult could also support by the child by having a 5 minute chat, seeing how things are going through the child’s mind and to explain what happens through the body cycle.
Emotional transition
An emotional transition is something which a child could go through e.g. “being separated from parents or carers” (Walker, 2012, p144). For example this could be staying with a baby sitter for the first time.
An adult can support the child by saying that “both parents still love them even though they are not together” (www.rcpsych.ac.uk date accessed 02.12.13). A adult could say to the child that they can stay with their dad or mum for a couple of hours so they still see each other, which shows the child that their parents still love them.
