| Book Subtitle | A Practical And Supportive Guide For Parents With Sensitive Kids |
| Book Description | Is your sensitive preschooler starting school soon? Do you want your child to THRIVE, and not just 'cope'? You are not alone. Every child is unique, and therefore every child has unique needs. But what if your school starter's subtle differences set them apart from their peers? As your child prepares to start school, are you worried about: - How your anxious child will manage at 'big school'? - How teachers will handle your child's emotional or behavioural vulnerabilities? - The effect your complex family could have on your child's education? - The impact of your child's learning, social or sensory processing challenges? - Your unfamiliarity with Australian schools and where you fit in? Take heart, because School Ready is the 'sensitive' school readiness guide you've been looking for. Filled with practical advice, strategies, resources and templates for parents and teachers of children with unique needs, School Ready offers common-sense ideas to help your child (and you!) make a happy, successful start to primary school. This book will equip you to: - Evaluate schools and make the right choice for your child - Build strong, positive relationships with teachers and other parents - Collaborate with the school community to ensure your child succeeds - Help your child have confidence in the classroom and playground - Become a champion for your child so that your voice is heard at school Written by award-winning teacher, business leader, parent educator and mum, Sonja Walker, School Ready provides solutions to the unique problems faced by families such as yours. |
| Editorial Review | Sonja has written an incredibly practical book about a concern most parents wrestle with: ensuring their child is ready for school. This is an issue that confronts most parents before their child starts school, but is most certainly amplified for families with children with unique needs. Sonja combines simple, realistic advice that parents crave and her work is underpinned by her comprehensive experience as a former teacher and as a mum. Sonja has a thorough understanding of the latest research and science about child development and balances this with personal stories and anecdotes interspersed throughout the book. This is a must-read for all parents and early childhood educators embarking on the journey of preparing children for school.' - Dr Kristy Goodwin, Digital Health and Wellbeing Speaker, Researcher, author and mum 'As a mother of three, all with unique needs of their own, and a primary teacher of 30 years, I can relate to this sensitive and realistic book. Sonja has thoroughly covered the many aspects and concerns about your child starting school from a parents' point of view. She has given suggestions of how to deal with so many situations in a humorous, sensible and practical way. Personal and professional anecdotes throughout the book add a personal and very real touch to what can be a traumatic and deeply stressful time of life for all parents, and especially for those with sensitive and unique needs. A thoroughly enjoyable, informative and practical read. I wholeheartedly recommend this book to any parent of a child that is starting school.' - Tracey Nicholls, Primary Teacher 'Sonja Walker is a dynamo and this book not only reflects her years of service to kids and families, but also her personal integrity and passion for representing families whose voices are rarely heard. Readers of School Ready will benefit from the commonsense wisdom of this hard-working professional who is an amazing source of knowledge for Australian parents.' - Mary Klarica, Speech Pathologist |
