Transitions Core Unit 3.1

[pm77]

Can anyone help with my final 2 questions on this unit please?


1. Explain the importance of managing transitions for children and young people?

2. Describe the opportunities you provide at the setting for children and young people that are structured to explore the effects of transitions?

For the second question, do I provide some examples such as how I support children who start the setting, support with potty training etc?

For question 2 yea I think your on the right track, you could mention the settling in period of a new child, and the settling in of a new room when they are due to move up to a older class. Describe how you provide these opportunities and how you support the children.

Hi, transitions impact on all areas of development so it's important that different types are recognised and children's individual circumstances are understood so that they can be supported and always feel valued, able to achieve, be independant, ask for help without fear of judgement and have healthy, positive relationships with others.

The 4 types of transitions that are detailed in outcome 5 of CYP 3.1 are

emotional, where someone is affected by personal experience e.g. bereavement, entering/ leaving care
How might these situations affect someone's sense of self, their identity, well-being, belonging, confidence so as to be settled, happy to contribute, understand change and manage specific implications ...

physical:. 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
