Parents Webinar: Children Starting 'Big School'


With Dr Mary O'Kane


About this event:

Your child is starting ‘Big School’ in September, this means new experiences, new friends, and a whole new identity as a Junior Infant. Naturally you want to support them in making this transition a success. How should you best prepare your child for this major transition in their lives?

In this session, Dr Mary O’Kane offers some very practical advice on the most important skill sets for children during this transition, and how best to support your child over the summer in developing these skills.

This workshop will be delivered on Zoom Video Conferencing.
