How to prepare your outdoor kid for school, with our favourite teacher Lauren MacLean

Is your kid starting kindergarten this year? Or maybe your kid has been in school a few years but you still don’t really understand what goes on at that place? Either way, if you’ve ever wondered what actually happens at school, you’re not alone.

Today, we are talking to our favourite teacher Lauren MacLean and asking all the questions we WISH we had known to ask a year ago when our own kids started kindergarten. 

Tune into hear:

• What a day at school actually involves
• What kindergarten kids have to be able to do alone (here’s a link to a helpful article! How to teach your child to wipe - Busy Toddler)
• Questions you can ask your kid to get them to talk about their day
• How one afternoon a year at your kid’s school can help you and your kid
• How to support your kid’s teacher to spend more time teaching outside
