As your 5-year-old is most likely thinking about starting school, reading can be an emotionally rewarding way to reconnect for both parent and child:
  • boy reading at homeAs your child starts school, she will be exposed to reading in a more academic way. But keeping it personal and fun at home is important.
  • In many ways, your kindergartner is an independent, self-sufficient little person, but she still craves a sense of closeness and intimacy with you.
  • It’s important to set aside time to share a book with your child in order to slow down and reconnect.
  • Choose books that will help your child through the changes and expectations she is facing, like starting school, sharing and cooperating, and even losing teeth!
