Transitioning from primary to secondary school is a particularly significant change for children. It is important that we acknowledge how they feel and help them gain skills to find solutions or strategies to manage these feelings.

Learning to adapt to change, will help your child to cope, not only with this particular transition, but also prepare them for the many other changes and challenges they will face in life. Building resilience and allowing children an opportunity to try out different coping skills and methods and find the ones that work for them is a really good starting point.
