| Abstract: |
Starting school is taking place at an increasingly younger age and can create a range of potentially stressful demands on young children, their parents and teachers. This paper explores some of the situations and changes with which children are faced during their transition to school. These include aspects such as change of status, familiarization with a new environment, new social experiences and different cultural influences. The issues, therefore, are how children cope with changes and how might they be helped to gain some strategies for dealing with these changes. It looks at the perceptions of 50 children, their parents and teachers in two different schools and highlights the importance of communication and friendships as children start their journey through school. |
