Whether the move is a typical transition between grade levels, a family move, or any other reason, it is a process that for many students creates worry and anxiety.
In this workbook, the author speaks directly to students in a very natural and supportive voice. The book takes an honest approach by first acknowledging the difficulty of moving to a new school and then giving students tools to make the transition easier. Through hands-on activities like checklists and to-do lists, students are empowered to reduce the fear they associate with transferring to a new school.
