Developing your child's independence with self-care skills is one of the most important school readiness skills. Did you know your child will be expected to dress/undress themselves independently? Teachers will require your child to independently use the bathroom and change wet clothes, and also expect them to open their lunch box and food packaging on their own. It is really important that, while developing your child's motor and cognitive skills in preparation for school, you also develop their self-care skills. 

This resource outlines development progression for self-care skills from infancy to 6+ years and provides advice on why self-care skills are important and how to support your child at home to develop their self-care skills, especially in preparation for transitioning to school. With over 30 pages of information and activities, including step-by-step instructions on how to teach your child to do self-care tasks independently, they will be set for school before you know it!
