It provides a gentle and supportive environment for children to express their emotions and gain a sense of preparedness for the upcoming journey.

Arriving Well Activity Book: This book can be used either independently or as a continuation of the Leaving Well Activity Book. It continues to guide children through the transition process, helping them settle into their new country.

The guide aims to empower the adult with confidence in their delivery and in responding to any questions that may arise during the transition.

The set provides a valuable toolkit for educators, practitioners, and parents to support children on their relocation journey and ensure a smooth and successful transition.
