Listening and following instructions are great skills to practise at home to help children starting school this September 👂

Keep it fun and part of your day, play little games like “Can you touch your toes?” or try simple instructions like “Get your shoes and wait by the door.” 👟

These small, everyday actions make a big difference and help your child feel more confident at school. Give it a try today for a smoother start in September. Try it this week and help build their confidence for school.
