We hope everyone had a wonderful first day back to school!
Even though summer vacation is over, there is still so much fun to be had. Remember to check in on the KidsTalk Wellington blog for lots of tips, tricks, and info when it comes to your child's speech and language!
Worried about school readiness? Take a step back and think of the skills your child is already acquiring and how you are supporting their development every day - with something as simple as play.
When a child is engaged in play with caregivers and other adults in a warm and responsive relationship, she will develop qualities that will help her succeed in school:
- Strong oral communications skills
- Confidence
- The ability to make friends
- Persistent, creative problem-solving
- Task completion
- Curiosity
- Eagerness to learn.
