RE: Transitioning into formal education - the child, the school and the family
Indeed. Parents need to take responsibility as well. There are exceptions though, we struggled with our boy. He doesn't adapt well to change. There were reasons for that though. Anyway, an interesting article I came across a while ago was about Lego being more beneficial to younger kids (around 6-8 years if I recall correctly) than putting them into a schooling system at that age. Had both creative and mathematical benefits. If you haven't read about it I'll see if I can track it down :):)
Thanks @therneau. If you can find it, I'd love to read it!
Ah, here you go. Thought I might battle but found it easy enough
