Efforts to prepare for school today are becoming more and more, and children come to school less and less prepared. And often an intense academic pace with an ever-increasing workload does not develop the child, but, on the contrary, depletes and deprives him of motivation for learning and development. The book will help parents understand the most pressing issues of primary school: is the child ready for learning; what is an individual educational route; how to choose a school and first teacher; how to build partnerships with teachers and school administration. The author of the book is child and family psychologist Elena Lutkovskaya, who specializes in problems of adaptation to school.
