Preparing your child for Kindergarten can be overwhelming. Many parents feel a rush of conflicting emotions about seeing their child so grown up and ready to enter \u201creal school.\u201d\u00a0 There are millions of different articles with lists of skills your child should already have mastered before entering Kindergarten – the dreaded \u201cKindergarten-readiness.\u201d What does that even mean?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>

The good news: you\u2019re most likely already teaching so many of these readiness skills without realizing it! As a former Kindergarten Teacher, I can shed some light on the skills that are most important and will best prepare your child for Kindergarten.<\/span><\/p>

If your child attended Preschool, they most likely had more than one adult available to help with their day-to-day needs in the classroom. In most places, it\u2019s not the same for Kindergarten. In Kindergarten, the average ratio of kids to teachers is 24:1. Being independent and self-sufficient is KEY!<\/span><\/p>

Remember – they are only 5 years old and may only be capable of doing a certain amount of things independently. If they can\u2019t do a few of these skills before starting school… THAT\u2019S OKAY! All academics and social-emotional learning is taught and reinforced throughout the Kindergarten year. Knowing the skills below will prepare your Preschooler and help them to feel confident and self-sufficient on their first day of Kindergarten.<\/span><\/p>

Self-Care and Social-Emotional Skills:<\/b><\/p>

Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) is the process through which kids develop self-awareness, self-control, and interpersonal skills that are critical for their success in school, work, and life.\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>
