My Little Tiger Is Ready for School

By Jedidah Karanja and Dwight Nacaytuna

My Little Tiger Is Ready for School is a story about motivating young children to enjoy new experiences, including school and life.

Five-year-old Tiger is starting school the following year. After doing some research, his parents choose a program—Cracking the School Preparedness Code—to help Tiger acquire some specific capabilities.

Tiger is not coping very well, so his parents decide to involve Butterfly, a family friend and coach, to motivate Tiger. On his first visit, they decide to spend the day out. Prior to leaving the house, they brand their day Fun Highway. Tiger and Butterfly spend the day exploring new environments, scooting, cycling, and doing everyday activities differently.

Tiger and Butterfly both agree to bring along Tiger’s activity box, and the Fun Highway delivers more than scooting and cycling opportunities as Tiger effortlessly and joyfully participates in craft activities and social and intellectual discussions.

In the end, Tiger is quite confident about his abilities and declares he is ready for school.

Jedidah Karanja is a mother, a coach, and a learning and development specialist passionate about learning and development of children. Drawing on her own experience growing up in Kenya, and bringing up a child in Australia, Jedidah believes that foundational years is a critical stage for children to be equipped with skills and resources they need to grow to become confident, positive and independent human beings. Inspired by her son Rafael, Jedidah is interested in contributing to the development of children and believes that with proper guidance, children are capable of understanding and adopting concepts that could initially be perceived as complex. Children, parents, schools, and communities can then benefit immensely in having children adopt positive powerful language as part of their everyday language. Jedidah strongly believes that our choice of language, including what we tell ourselves, is what shapes our experiences.
