What We’ll Explore Together:

✅ Understanding the Emotional Impact:

✅ What Readiness Really Means:
  • Beyond ABCs, the social, emotional, and self-care skills that matter most in the early years.
✅ Handling Separation Anxiety with Confidence:
  • Tools for smooth goodbyes, consistent routines, and co-regulation.
✅ Mindfulness Practices That Actually Work:
  • Simple breathing exercises, visual aids, and grounding techniques for home and classroom.
✅ Practical Prep, Not Pressure:
  • How to build children’s confidence with role play, storytelling, and praise for effort, not perfection.
