In this book written especially for children, author and teacher, Sharon Witt covers a range of topics to help children (and their parents) navigate this time of change. Written in language especially for children, topics covered include: making friends, orientation day, getting to know your teachers, eating well, creating routines, homework, dealing with bullying, being safe online, camps, excursions, and more.
Each chapter provides strategies and ideas to help children through the early years at school, whilst also providing added support for those who may be facing some issues.
