The transition is a critical period for the child that includes increasing responsibilities and expectations from adults, separation and loss of friends and teachers from the previous school context, loss of security that comes from a familiar environment, and even the need to develop new behaviors and skills for adaptation, as well as changing one's self-image in search of identity, which often leads to intense intrapsychic conflicts such as fear, anxiety, excitement, and insecurity.

However, the concept of transition within the school context is defined as the change of educational level (e.g., from kindergarten to elementary school, from elementary school to middle school, etc.). However, during this period, developmental changes also occur, which are defined within the transition from childhood to pre-adolescence/adolescence. Nevertheless, the passage to a different educational level, which also constitutes a new beginning for the child, results in an unfamiliar and therefore stressful situation for the child. This period is characterized by physical changes, as well as emotional instability and imbalance, as well as intense stress, which affects the behavior of the child.

The six stages of the transition:

1. Shock of change
2. Refusal of change -> Tends towards the previous state
3. Lack of self-esteem -> Cannot avoid change (realization)
4. Disposition to resign -> Gives in to change, self-esteem decreases
5. Forced acceptance of the new
6. Internalization of the new experience

Empowerment practices within the framework of transition by parents:

• Enhancement of communication - active listening, expression of their emotions
• Acceptance of the child's emotions - Help with managing them
• Understanding of developmental changes - Effects on behavior
• Emphasis on dialogue
• Creation of a friendly environment - Acceptance of failure
• Encouragement of positive behavior
