Primary-secondary school transitions are an inevitable part of life, recognised as a critical developmental period and a key turning point for children, as well as their significant others. This easy-to-read guide draws on a wealth of international theoretical, empirical, and practical insights to offer an accessible overview of this important period and the importance of supporting emotional well-being during this time. Focussing on supporting the supporters, this practical book addresses some of the most frequently asked questions about how we can best support our children during a time of social, academic, environmental, and personal change. Following an effective Q&A structure, and a ‘dip in and out’ approach, chapters discuss topics such as puberty and related developmental aspects, support networks, the child’s voice, additional support needs and much more. Written by two academic experts, this important book is essential reading for parents, educators and other professionals supporting the work of schools in this area, such as family liaison officers, educational psychologists, and teaching/learning support assistants. This may also be of interest to students in both Education and Psychology disciplines, and anyone wanting a more comprehensive understanding of primary-secondary school transitions and how to effectively support children’s emotional well-being during this time.

Primary-Secondary School Transitions mark a pivotal developmental milestone in children's, and their supporters’ lives. This accessible guide distils international research and practical insights into a reader-friendly resource focused on how parents, carers and teachers can support children’s emotional wellbeing.
