What are major life transitions?

Major life transitions are big changes that happen when you move from one important part of your life to another.

Imagine you're playing with building blocks. You start with a small tower, maybe just two or three blocks. But then, suddenly, you’re working on a huge castle with towers and bridges. That's like a major life transition, it’s when you go from being a kid to being a teenager, or from school to work.

Like Moving Houses

Think of it like moving houses. When you move from your old home to a new one, everything feels different, the rooms are bigger, the colors are brighter, and you might even have a new bedroom. That's what happens during a major life transition, you’re in a whole new place with new rules and new people.

Like Growing Up

Sometimes, these transitions feel like growing taller overnight. One day you're wearing your favorite pair of shoes, and the next day, they don’t fit anymore. You’ve grown up, that’s a major life transition too! It means you’re ready for bigger adventures and more challenges.
