let educators know if you're seeing these difficulties significantly interfere with their ability to connect with their peers or participate in a group activity or learning at the preschool level.
So if it's been significant and it's been seen in preschool, then you might want to let educators know, you know, my son is very bright, but he has a little more difficulty paying attention because then that teacher can,
seat that child in a place in the classroom where there's minimal distractions.
Or if a child is shy, compare them with another child who might be a little more outgoing, have a little more empathy.
And so they can make decisions about where a child is in the classroom, who he's sitting with, where he's sitting, and supporting that child on the playground who might need more difficulty entering groups.
And so it could be beneficial to
So that supports are in place for a child to, again, be successful when they make that transition to kindergarten.
Yeah, I think one of the things is really connecting with the community of parents who are also in the same boat.
So and, you know, parents who are entering kindergarten for the first time, or they have kids who think differently and are entering kindergarten.
So getting in touch with other parents who are experiencing the same thing, and also connecting kids who are entering kindergarten with peers.
So
Finding parents who have kids who are going to be entering either the same elementary school or an elementary school will be good.
So what you do, what you want to do is give kids an opportunity to play.
And oftentimes the focus is on coloring and forming letters and cutting out shapes.
When in fact, giving kids an opportunity to play with other children is a great tool for learning because they learn how to negotiate.
They learn how to problem solve.
They learn how to focus their attention.
They learn how to shift their attention.
And so giving kids an opportunity to play with kids who are also going to be making that transition is incredibly important.
And I think in addition to practicing skills over the summer or before they enter kindergarten, helping a child to know what to expect.
