The international contributors to Supporting Difficult Transitions discuss examples of transitions that are problematic for children, young people and their carers. Focusing on potentially vulnerable children, the transitions include: starting school, changing schools, starting work, entering a new culture or a culture that has been changed by a traumatic event. The book will therefore be useful to: practitioners involved in supporting children and their carers as they make these moves; students and course tutors in the caring professions; researchers; and policy makers and those who implement policy for children and young people. The different case examples are given coherence by drawing on cultural-historical approaches to how people move between practices. This underpinning ensures that the chapters focus both on the person making the transition and on the practitioners and institutions involved, in order to allow consistent and detailed analyses of the cases and identify how the transitions are supported. Particular attention is paid to how practitioners can build shared understandings of what matters for children and young people and for the institutions they are entering. These understandings become a resource to strengthen collaborations between practitioners or between practitioners and the children and their carers, as they support entry into new practices. The collection is therefore of both practical and theoretical interest.
Industry Reviews
Attending to the topic of transitions through this relational approach offers a powerful lens that makes visible taken for granted experiences and enables ways to rethink the processes, practices, and structures we have built. This book reminds us all that we can change what we have built and that, with change, we are likely to see improvements in the experience of transitions.
