65: School Readiness Starts at Home: Building Social, Emotional & Life Skills with Cara Tyrrell

Vanda Season 2 Episode 26

Getting your child ready for kindergarten isn’t just about ABCs and 123s! In this special episode, I’m joined by Cara Tyrrell — early childhood educator, collaborative parenting coach, and founder of Core4Parenting. We dive into the real markers of true school readiness (hint: it’s not just cognitive skills) and how to support your child’s social, emotional, and physical development long before the first day of school.

Cara shares:
 ✔️ The 4 key readiness indicators beyond academics
 ✔️ Practical ways to build interpersonal and self-regulation skills at home
 ✔️ How to support your child in new social settings and build true confidence
 ✔️ Why connection and trust are the foundation for all learning

Whether your little one is starting preschool or kindergarten (or you're just preparing ahead), this episode will help you feel empowered to guide them through this big transition — with less stress and more confidence.
