Raising in a responsible way, Elena Lashtabega—based on many years of practice—knows exactly what real readiness for school involves and at what point it’s best to begin. For a child, it’s important not only to learn how to read, write, and count, but also to be able to express thoughts, follow rules and agreements with adults, and build relationships with peers.
You also need to keep in mind that children’s brain development happens in stages: excessive and too-early loads in classes and “developmental activities” can do harm, because each skill has its own right time.
A neuropsychologist helps you understand when it really is time to prepare for school, how to tell whether you need preparatory courses or whether the opportunities of kindergarten are enough—and most importantly, when a child is truly ready for first grade.
Elena Lashtabega will show you how to avoid unnecessary steps and common mistakes, what it’s reasonable to spend your energy, time, and money on—and what should be left out.
