If you have a child starting Kindergarten this episode is not to be missed.
As a former preschool owner, I've supported lots of families with this shift and I thought it would be fun and informative to sit with veteran Kindergarten teacher, Natalie Ferrier, to have a conversation about how you can support your children with this shift.
Our conversation focuses in on actionable strategies to support three areas:
1) Independence
2) Speaking for Needs
3) Self-Regulation
Note: In the episode I share one of the strategies from my program Building Resilience Through Kindness for building skills for emotional regulation and I also note that I would include some of my favourite books in the show notes.
Book recommendations for building a Feelings Vocabulary:
A blog detailing some of my favourites can be found HERE
