For many parents the last time they set foot in a school was when they were students themselves, and things have certainly changed a lot since then.

Helping set your kids up for success in their educational setting is very important, and something that parents really need to have a good understanding about. The valuable support they can offer their children at home extends in to the classroom for many years throughout a child’s educational journey.

As parents we can help our child be set up for success at school by understanding:

• Is my child ready?
• Why more parents are delaying starting school

• What does your child actually need to know before they start school?
• Building emotional resilience- why this is so important for kids at school?
• Fostering independence
• Understanding what is going on in your child’s brain
• Emotional overload – how to cope in that first year
• Supporting your child’s learning
• The importance of school community engagement
• Navigating and understanding the importance of your relationship with your child’s teacher

Aimed at families with children aged 3-5 years of age
