Prepping For School Success With Julie Dore 🤸‍♀️🤸🏾

The new year is just around the corner and with it comes a whole new wave of little ones entering the school system. It’s a whole new season as your son or daughter sets off to spend more time away from you in a new environment. As parents it can bring up a lot of thoughts and feelings. It can be a really positive and exciting time AND you may also feel a bit apprehensive. Episode 133 is a conversation about how best to prepare little ones for school success. We cover •How to choose the right school •When to hold your son or daughter back •Questions to ask the school •Emotional readiness •Academic ability •Independence •Communication and so much more! I chat with Julie Dore the author of ‘Prepping for School Success’. Julie is a guest speaker, a primary school teacher with a Bachelor of Education (Early Childhood Education), a mother of two beautiful girls, and a FIFO wife. She uses her knowledge and experience from 16 years of teaching and 6 years of parenting to help other parents and educators to make the early years a happy and successful time for everyone. She believes it’s the little things, the everyday things done right, that can make all the difference in the lives of young children, their parents and educators. The first five years in a child’s development are crucial and lay the foundations for all future learning, so it’s up to us to make these foundations solid. And this is done through love… unconditional love and instilling a lifelong love of learning. There are many names for the first year of school among the states and territories in Australia.
