Starting School Book: How to choose, prepare for and settle your child at school

There are so many issues surrounding starting school that parents struggle with ranging from selecting the best school for their child (and knowing the right things to look for and questions to ask), preparing their child emotionally and practically for starting, knowing what must-haves to buy (and what not to buy!), navigating school settling-in procedures, coping with behaviour regressions at home, friendship issues, anxiety, tricky behaviour at school, school refusal and homework. Despite these many concerns, there is little advice available for parents in this position. Most ‘starting school’ books are aimed at the children themselves. Parents are left to turn to internet discussion forums and social media to ask their many questions. This book fills this gap.
