How do you feel parents can get their children ready for starting school in September?
Lee ParkinsonGUEST
21:55
So I think, again, a bit of a misconception.
Lee ParkinsonGUEST
21:58
A lot of parents think it's about getting them to be able to read, getting them to be able to recognize letters and sounds and numbers.
Lee ParkinsonGUEST
22:03
It's not, not, none of that.
Lee ParkinsonGUEST
22:05
I think the best advice I can give parents is just let, letting them do those little things such as being able to get the shoes on themselves.
Lee ParkinsonGUEST
22:15
Those little bits of independence, putting the coat on, being able to express and communicate their needs.
Lee ParkinsonGUEST
22:21
Those little things are the things that make the biggest difference.
