Is My Child Ready for School?

What to notice beyond letters and numbers

If your child is starting school soon, it is easy to start wondering whether they know enough letters, can write their name or recognise enough numbers.

But there are so many other things I would be watching first.

Can they organise their body during movement? Follow a couple of instructions? Keep going when something feels tricky? Manage everyday routines with a little more independence? Join in with other children? Cope with the tiredness, frustration and change that can come with starting school?

In this practical one-hour parent webinar, I will help you step back from the academic checklists and look at some of the everyday foundations that can make school participation easier.

Who is this for?

Parents and carers of children preparing to start school, particularly if you keep finding yourself wondering:

“Are they actually ready?”

You do not need to wait until something becomes a major concern. Sometimes noticing the little things early gives us useful information about where a child may simply need some extra practice and support.

You will leave with:

A clearer idea of what school readiness can look like in everyday life, what your child is already doing well, what may need a little more support, and practical things you can start doing at home.
