How would you know if the child is ready for school?

You can gauge based on your child's development like ability to think logically, speak clearly, and interact well with other children and adults. It is also important to consider your child's physical development. These guide questions may help you: 1) Does your child listen to instructions and then follow them? 2. Does s/he show an interest in books? 3. Is s/he curious and receptive to learning new things? 4. Does your child get along well with other kids? 5. Does s/he share and know how to take turns? 6. Can s/he work together with others as part of a group? If you answered "yes" to most of these questions and "sometimes" to the rest, your child is more likely ready for school. You can also ask your pedia's feedback if she thinks your child is ready.
