Aimed at helping parents prepare their child for the huge milestone of starting 'big school', this practical, jargon-free guide includes lots of ideas on supporting learning in the early years as well as vital information on the process of choosing a school and then handy tips on how to make sure your child settles in.
Kirstine Beeley has a unique perspective on this as she is an ex early years and primary school teacher and the mother of a five year old who has just started primary school himself. This easy to read book features practical, professional and personal experience as well as answering all those questions that parents frequently ask about the transition process.
