Dear Concerned Parent,
We all want what’s best for our children, so knowing when they’re ready for school can be a big concern! Remember that being ready for school is a combination of age, growth and experience. Every child develops at his own rate, but you can HELP your child be ready for school.
Children need to be socially and physically ready for school, in addition to having exposure to language and numbers. You can help your child by talking to him about the world around you and encouraging him to take on small responsibilities for himself to build independence.
