Hi
Ive just done this one and found it easier to break it up into sections.

I started with different age ranges e.g. 0-3, 3-7 etc and this listed possible transition so for 0-3 I put starting pre-school, noted about how this would affect the child, missing their primary carer and getting used to a new carer etc. Then did a little section on the support you could give the child to help them through this transition.

Hope this helps :)
