Many parents wonder: Should my child know their letters? Be reading already? Be able to sit still for long periods?
Research in child development tells us something reassuring: school readiness is far less about flashcards and worksheets and far more about emotional security, self-regulation, language skills, and confidence. In fact, decades of evidence show that children who can manage emotions, follow routines, solve problems, and build relationships are better positioned for long-term academic success.
In this engaging and interactive virtual workshop, Peace at Home Expert Cora Megan D’Alesandro, MA, IMH-E, will guide you through practical, evidence-informed strategies to help your child feel confident, capable, and connected as they enter a new school environment.
You’ll learn how everyday play, not pressure, builds the skills teachers value most. Together, we’ll explore how to identify your child’s unique strengths and challenges, support emotional growth, and create simple routines that ease separation stress and first-day jitters.
Whether your child is entering preschool for the first time or walking into a kindergarten classroom, you will leave feeling empowered, prepared, and hopeful.
This is a live, interactive workshop. Bring your questions, share your experiences, and connect with other parents navigating this exciting transition. If you’d like a specific topic addressed, email us in advance at solutions@peaceathomeparenting.com.
It’s a big change—but it doesn’t have to be a scary one.
