Children may find change very difficult which is why it is important to know the different types of transition. Normal stages of transitions are changes that all children will face, such as; moving class or school, primary to secondary. Less common transitions are personal to the child which other children may not face, such as; family break ups, severe illness or bereavement. The normal stages of transition are predictable as they have a set date but the less common transition are unpredictable as they are sudden. This means that children moving from primary to secondary school have plenty of time to prepare for this change but bereavement leaves no time, just a hole that affects all areas of their lives.
This development in children includes both emotional and social development. From infants to adults, children are constantly adapting and learning about the environment and the world surrounding them (Maggi & Irwin, 2008). As a result, they begin to understand how to co-exist with others and the world. It is very early on when the child develops a certain personality depending on the type of upbringing and environment provided. Children do develop differently depending on their genetic makeup and environment, parents and guardians can play a huge role to ensure that the child grows up to be an emotionally mature individual.
