* Simple, concise, practical advice for kids on the move.
* Activities based on relocation and transition research.
* A creative way for children to understand transition.
* Support for the child on the move to leave and arrive well.
* Includes wellbeing boosting strategies for transition and beyond.
The Moving On series gives all who work with children a powerful, practical tool to help them 'leave well so they can enter well.' As each book focuses on a particular stage of the moving process, children can find words and create images to express the often-paradoxical feelings any move can make. I highly recommend it!
