Synopsis: Prepare Your Child for School answers the questions every parent asks when their child is about to leave their exclusive care and go out into the world of school:- Is my child ready for this challenge?- Will the teacher bring out the best in my child?- What can I do to help my child cope with the stresses, demands and expectations of school life?- Will other children play with my child?- Does my child know enough?- Can my child communicate well?- Is my child ready to learn to read and write? Aimed both at parents of pre-school children (3 to 6 years old) and at teachers and carers, this practical book, including numerous charts, checklists, questionnaires and structured activities for developing children's skills as well as promoting their emotional well-being, will act as a blueprint for action.
