Today we're gonna dive into what kindergarten readiness really looks like. I got to hang out with Susie Allison from Busy Toddler. If you're not following Busy Toddler already, it's an incredible follow over on on Instagram. We got to talk about the history of kindergarten and how we even got where we are and what it looked like to move forward and what really matters when we're looking at child development and short and long term outcomes. We got to break down some data and science and talk about what it does look like to be ready for kindergarten and how you can be supporting your tiny humans in getting there. I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I did, and I can't wait to hear your thoughts and feedback.  We have a special preorder bonus happening right now for the book. Snag Tiny Humans, Big Emotions at seedandsew.org/book, then come right back there after you purchase it and give me your name, email and your order number, and I will send you a guide to surviving summer. What does it really look like to navigate the schedule changes, the transitions, the sun changes, the back to school stuff as it comes up. We are here to help you navigate this season, and I have a complete guide for you as a thank you for joining us on this journey.     Love this podcast? Scroll down to leave a review!
