🏫 Starting School: Skills to Practise Together
Getting ready for school is a big step for your child! Every child develops at their own pace, but practising simple daily skills together can help them feel more confident and independent.

👂 Listening and Following Simple Instructions

Being able to listen to an adult and follow simple instructions, like “put your bag on the peg” is an important skill that helps children feel confident and settled at school.

💡 Tips to try at home:
• Play fun copycat games: “Can you touch your toes?” or “Can you clap your hands?”
• Give one or two simple instructions during everyday routines: “Get your shoes and wait by the door”
• Keep instructions clear and simple
• Praise your child when they listen and respond, whatever that looks like for them

🌟 Remember: Some children may find it tricky to process instructions or may respond better to visual cues, gestures, or gentle prompts alongside words. Whatever helps your child understand and feel confident is the right approach.

🏫 Starting School: Skills to Practise Together
Getting ready for school is a big step for your child! Every child develops at their own pace, but practising simple daily skills together can help them feel more confident and independent.

💬 Communicating Wants and Needs

Being able to tell an adult when they need help, feel unwell, are thirsty, or need the toilet is essential for your child’s wellbeing at school.

💡 Tips to try at home:
• Help your child practise expressing their needs in the way that works best for them
• This might be speaking, signing, pointing to pictures, or using a communication device
• Support them to recognise and share how they’re feeling – “Are you thirsty? Tired? Worried?”
• Use everyday moments to practise, keeping it natural and pressure-free

🌟 Remember: Every child communicates differently. Whether they are verbal or non-verbal, and whether they use signs, symbols, pictures or devices – whatever works for your child is perfect.

📣 Let your child’s school know what works best so they can support them from day one.
