Tips for parents of children starting school from Maria Osborne, Educational Psychologist at Sensational Kids

Use books, sticker and activity books to help your child to understand what to expect in September. Talk regularly about the excitement of starting school and about what your child’s expectations, fears and worries may be Keep in touch over the summer with any children you know who will be in your child’s class – arrange a couple of play dates in the last couple of weeks if possible.
