I get asked a lot about ‘school readiness’, my line is that school needs to get ready for your child- not the opposite!
There is a level of independence that should be encouraged- being able to put shoes and coats on and off, wiping bottoms etc. But this is age/stage appropriate and necessary in order to develop self esteem and autonomy.
