3.1 Identify the transitions experienced by most children and young people.
• Babies weaning - young children may not like the texture or taste of other foods and may lose weight if weaning attempts to replace a milk diet too early. Children may begin to have disturbed sleep patterns, be more irritable whilst awake and less motivated to try new foods.
• Loss of a comforter - the transition between having a soother or dummy and not having one can be quite upsetting. Supportive relationships will understand that what a child has come to rely on for reassurance and comfort to assist sleep and achieve calm may well be gone.
• Crawling to walking - this transition sees children reach new perspectives on their lives, viewing the world around them from a different point of view. They can obtain items with greater ease and move with increasing speed. Parents and carers will need to ensure children explore their environment safely with interest and enjoyment.
• Move from cot to bed - a child may feel insecure with new sleeping arrangements, may have disturbed sleep patterns, wake more or less frequently, be happier or more withdrawn / tired / aggressive . They may react negatively when they realise bed is the next part of their day and behaviour may change.
• Move from nappies to being toilet trained - Some children move effortlessly through this transition with not much support, for others it is more difficult recognising the signs of needing the toilet, for them it can make accidents and the events that could occur in response to an accident something to be dreaded and feared.
• Starting nursery or school -Where children are not used to leaving parents or are feeling unwell, separation can be a very upsetting. Repeats of this negativity may cause withdrawal, regression -toilet trained children may begin to wet the bed or have accidents at nursery or school, be aggressive where usually happy and may begin experience not wanting to go
