Parents of children whose early years were in the pandemic and will be starting school in September should ensure that they are confident enough to speak to other adults and ask for help, a parenting expert has said.
The lockdown youngsters will find out on Monday which primary school they have been allocated.
Expert Daisy Upton, who is known online as Five Minute Mum, said parents should not worry about preparing their child academically.
She added: “Teachers will do all that…What parents should really focus on is crucial personal, social and health aspects of their child’s development...
“The crucial element, especially because of the pandemic and children who have grown up without perhaps being in a big classroom environment, is teaching our children how to ask for help and support.”
