Separation Anxiety Portfolio I Transition to School

$6.99

Separation can cause a lot of stress for families and can also significantly impact upon childrenโ€™s wellbeing.

The great news is that there are some child-centered approaches and strategies that can support parents to connect with and understand their children’s needs during times of separation and transition. For example when your child heads off to Day Care, Kindergarten or School.

The following portfolio includes strategies and interventions to help strengthen the parent-child relationships while promoting their childโ€™s social and emotional wellbeing throughout separations and transitions.

We explore Separation Anxiety, Attachment and Development and the specific tips for success. Additionally we explore the important role of routines and schedules within a childโ€™s life. A Social Narrative called โ€œGoing to Schoolโ€ is included as well as numerous visual support resources for emotions, coping skills and routine posters.
