Transition

The word ‘transition’ can apply to many areas of our lives Our very first transition is that from the warm, usually inverted world of in-utero existence, into the air- and light-filled birth room, where our lungs must inflate in order to make the change from umbilically sustained life to autonomous respiration and circulation Then there is the transition from childhood to adolescence, or the onset of puberty, which marks a biological change and brings emotional tumult in its wake
