They may be sad because they are leaving their friends and familiar security of their previous school.
31-5.1 How different types of transitions can affect children and young people’s development A transition is a change of passage from one stage or state to another .Children and young people naturally pass through a number of stages as they grow and develop. Often, they will also be expected to cope with changes such as movement from nursery education to primary school , and from primary to secondary school. These changes are commonly referred to as transitions. Transitions can affect all areas of the development of children and young people: -emotional -personal experiences, such as parents separating , bereavement, entering or leaving care -physical: moving to a new educational setting , a new home or care setting -intellectual -moving
And some young people and children may be abused or exploited so, they need to look after away from their families. The reasons are as follows: 1) Bereavement: most look after children will have experienced so many disruptions in their lives. This may include painful experiences such as family bereavement. As a result the children’s education may become affected and they may be below their expected class average. This will have caused from poor concentration, the child may also need specific help in their work and class before any sort of progress can be made.

.1 Explain how different types of transitions can affect children and young people’s development Transitions are the movements, passages or changes from one position, state, stage, subject or concept to another.
