Starting school will be easier for your child if he / she is used to other children and is able to make friends and share toys.
Talk with enthusiasm about going to school and be positive. It is important that you spend a little time, whenever possible, to read a book with your child, listen to their stories or colour in a picture.
Encourage your child to –
· use the toilet independently.
· wash and dry his / her hands.
· do simple tasks i.e. put on his / her shoes, socks and coat.
· recognise his / her coat.
· eat at the table with a knife and fork.
· look after books and toys and put them away.
