2. Social Skills:
Action: Arrange playdates and group activities to help your child develop social skills like sharing, taking turns, and resolving conflicts peacefully.
3. Independence:
Action: Teach self-care tasks such as using the toilet, washing hands, and dressing independently.
4. Curiosity:
Action: Encourage your child's natural curiosity through exploration and discovery.
5. Fine Motor Skills:
Action: Provide opportunities for drawing, colouring, and using scissors to enhance fine motor skills.
6. Basic Numeracy:

Take Action:
Empower your child for a successful start to school by incorporating these actions into your daily routine. Recognising and nurturing these readiness signs will set the stage for a positive kindergarten experience.
