Hi everyone,
We are back with another episode in the School ReadinessSeries on Wine with Wita, and this one dives into a perspective every parent should hear.
I am joined by Ann Murphy, child and family counsellor andfounder of Web of Light, to explore why emotional safety and connection matter more than letters and numbers when it comes to starting school.
From her experience supporting children and families through schools and private practice, Ann shares practical, real-world strategies to help parents, because when a parent feels equipped and supported, the child thrives.
In this conversation, we cover:
✨ How to know if your child is truly ready for school
✨ Why emotional and social wellbeing are the foundation for learning
✨ Red flags to look out for in your child’s readiness
✨ Strategies to help you as the parent, so you can better support your child
✨ The power of connection and emotional safety in setting your child up for success
If you have ever worried about whether your child is readyfor that first day, this episode will give you clarity, reassurance, and tools you can use straight away.
Lots of love,
Rita
