Hi, it's asking you to look at the pros & cons of having and not having relationships during times of transition.

The types of transitions are

emotional, affected by personal experience e.g. bereavement, entering/ leaving care

physical e.g. moving to a new educational establishment, a new home/locality, from one activity to another

physiological e.g. puberty, long term medical conditions

intellectual e.g. moving from pre-school to primary to post-primary

The effect of transitions involve:
Behaviour
Self-harm
Aggression
Withdrawal
Clinginess
Illness
Extroverted behaviours
Sleeplessness
Lack of concentration
Depression
Food issues

If you have this level 3 handbook there is supportive reading in the CYP 3.1 unit from page 78+ or page 87 if you have access to this handbook?

consider the transition in combination with the effects and then think about the impact of someone's support during that time.
