Children experience a range of transitions before the age of five, including moving out of their home environment to start at nursery. In this thought-provoking text the author explains why transitions matter and suggests how practitioners can support children to develop emotional resilience and confidence about the future.
Evidence from neuroscience, attachment theory, child development and childcare practices are drawn together to provide insights for practice. Case studies demonstrate how it is often the little things that practitioners do which make all the difference.
