Here are a few ways you can help your child get ready to start school:
- Support your child with managing their own belongings
- Cutting food using a ‘real’ knife and fork
- Getting dressed independently every day – practise closing buttons, putting on shoes and socks, putting on and zipping up their coat
- Going to the toilet themselves
- Tidying up their toys
- Helping them recognise their name in writing
- Play turn taking games with your child – this will help them get used to the concept of taking turns with others and also understand sharing
