The three hardest transitions for a young child are nap time, drop-off time and departure. These are the hardest because they make the child completely shift from one activity to another. Some children do not like to leave the activity they were doing to do something completely different. One example of how to ease nap time is to do a calm activity beforehand. It is important to not do something completely active before nap time because it will make the children not want to sleep. It will also make the transition easier because the child will not be going from one extreme to another. To make drop-off time easier I will make each child feel welcomed and gain his or her trust. Children sometimes have a hard time being separated from their parents
This could make the child or young person frustrated because they are being torn away from either their favourite place or even their friends, when a child or young person moves away they may feel lost or scared lonely or even anxious this could possible end in depression and the child or young persons behaviour in nursery or school.

There are several things that we can do to support a child who is going through a transition, they can often find a situation scary but this is mainly because they don’t understand and can find it hard to absorb the information but by explaining to them simply and straightforward what is happening then they are more likely to comprehend. Maybe a game could be played for example if the transition is the birth of a sibling a doll could be used in a role play sort of situation and by introducing a baby in this way we can gain an understanding of how the child is feeling about the situation through play, maybe the child will show no interest or be very enthusiastic there fore we can gage how much support is needed through the signs the child is giving. Understanding through play can also encourage the child to ask questions this is them trying to make sense in their own way so it is always best to be truthful.
I considered just simply taking the zero on this assignment and walking away. I do not enjoy talking about my childhood; my life growing up was very different than anyone else I knew. I am twenty-four year old woman; I am married to my best friend, Jeremiah and we have an eight month old son named John. Jeremiah and I have been together for eight years, but have not even been married for one whole year yet. I was born and raised in Cedar Rapids, Iowa where I met my husband in 2006. To Begin with my childhood though, I need to say that my family is very complicated; I will try to make everything clear and in chronological order. My mother and father were never married, yet they maintained a very unusual relationship up until my mother married my step-father Jim in 2003. My mother Tish, was married before she met my father, at which time she took her husband’s last name Gerlach. My mother had my oldest sister about nine years before I was thought of. My mother and father, Alan, had me in January of 1990. My mother refused to marry my father, when I asked why years later they both have different reasons for her saying no so I am still not sure the real reason. My Dad ended up starting a family of his own a year later with his new wife Cathy. I have three half-sisters; my oldest sister Kandis Gerlach is from my Moms first marriage, I have the same last name as Kandis and at the time
Transitions are changes that take part of our lives and are out of our control. Transitions are essential part of every person’s life but can be harder to adjust in early years. Although in early years’ transitions are supported by family, friends and practitioners/carers. Children’s early experiences of transitions can have a big effect on how they handle transitions in adult life.
Young people have to work through a broad range of issues as they move from childhood to adulthood. They may have to deal with changes to their bodies and their feelings and they may be thinking about having their first relationship or having sex. Young people may also be exploring their identities in terms of their sexuality or gender identity. They may want more independence from their families, and their friends may play a more important part in their lives. Some may also want to experiment with alcohol and other drugs. Although growing up can be an exciting time, it can also be confusing and challenging. Research shows confident young people who feel supported by their families and friends are more likely to safely negotiate issues like
Yana has experienced numerous transitions such as; moving country, a new environment, new routine and starting a new school- Kagan’s (1991) theory suggests that these are ‘vertical transitions’. Although Yana will also experience ‘horizontal transitions’ on a daily basis as she moves from her home to the setting, it will be the vertical transitions she has experienced which will have an effect on Yana (Couse & Recciha, 2015). Research has confirmed that transitions are stressful for children and this can impact their emotional wellbeing and consequently affect their achievements, unless they are handled sensitively (Young minds, 2017). Contrary to this, Robinson’s (2011) theory suggests transitions are part of a child’s development, so they
The early childhood years from 2 to 6 years old are a time of continued growth and development. Individual differences in growth are becoming more obvious as children are starting to discover who they are. There are many developmental milestones that children will reach within these four years, all at their own pace, ability and time. We will take a closer look into some of the milestones that preschool age children reach within the four developmental domains: physical, cognitive, language, social and emotional.
It is when educators help children for the future by building on each child’s past and present experiences, which will enables them to feel secure, confident and connected to people, events and situations that they are familiar with. Transitions between settings offer opportunities and challenges. Assist children in understanding the traditions, routines and practices of the settings to ease the transition process and to help deal with any changes that may
Transitions are a fundamental part of any classroom, but they are particularly prevalent in preschool classrooms. The effective management of classroom transitions has many positive effects, such as increasing available instruction time and decreasing opportunities for problematic behavior to arise. The article classifies management strategies into three categories: environmental arrangements, antecedent interventions, and peer-mediated procedures.
The early childhood years are crucial to a child’s development of skills necessary for success in school and in life. Data indicates that expulsion and suspension occurs in preschool at an alarming rate, and racial and gender disparities are of evident (U. S. Department of Health and Human Services, and U.S. Department of Education, 2014). Asking a family to remove a child from a school or program, can produce lasting, negative effects for the child, as well as for the family. Expulsion should only be a consideration after all interventions have been attempted without success, and in consultation with outside professionals and the family (Lamont, 2013).
According to Mary Louise Hemmeter, Michaelene M. Ostrosky, Kathleen M. Artman, and Kiersten A. Kinder, there are a few children who have trouble transitioning. The challenge behavior occurs mostly when there are too many transitions. Another reason a child may be having difficulties transitioning is that he or she has a disability. For example, not being able to process the directions fast enough. Some children have trouble going to different activities because they do not want to stop doing what they are doing. Research states that having roles, identification, and strategic placements for adults can minimize behaviors during transitioning. Having roles for the children can get them doing something, and having their own little job to do in the classroom. For example, setting the table, washing the table off, watering the animals, etc. The identification requires having a picture of how to transition and what is expected in a certain center. The placement for the adults is giving the children five to ten minutes to get ready to move from station to station and having an adult there to know where they go. Another way to minimize behavior is music while the children are transitioning. The children can sing along if they know the songs. One more way to help with
Identify risk and resilience factors for the young person concerned as they go through the process of transitions. You should evaluate how the legal framework can support the young person’s transition.
