Oh Emily, youâre such a responsible parent! As an early years teacher, I was nodding along to everything you were saying! This is really helpful, so thank you for sharing. Iâm going to share it now on my facebook page đ
Iâm a teacher too and Iâm just in love with Emily. Great tipsssssssssss! The Norris Family rocks!
adding on to the uniform point there's some amazing trousers at marks and spencers that have a special 3 cm hem that can be unplucked in the middle of the year/when it needs to be so that it will last the kids a little bit longer, i shall try and find a link and put it below, think its a great idea
Thanks for sharing
Please share the link.
I got my school trousers at Mark's and Spencer's I'm a much bigger boy it is great fit
the trousers are great I wear them and like them
Best tips: shoes they can put on and off themselves AND containers and water bottles they can open. I worked for a school in the Kindergarten class AND aftercare. These were two big things that I noticed kids needing help with and having to wait around for help and missing out on activities and snack time because they couldn't do it themselves.
Great tips!! Thanks for watching xx
Thank you for making this video. Iâm an older first time mom and none of our friends and family have school age children anymore, so this helped me plan for things I didnât even consider. Also, thank you for showing your vulnerability. It was very brave! And it really helps in feeling that those feelings are normal and tough despite most of the world perhaps not viewing it that way
I can't believe Jackson is going to school in September he is grown up so fast you look nice with you hair up x
I love her hair tied back toođ
Crazy isnât it đą Thanks for watching Maisie xx
My boy is only 9.5 months old and I found this so informative. Soon Iâll be going back to work đą and I need to prepare for taking him to childcare (super awesome sister in law). Found so many of these tips resonate with this. Massive thank you! đ„°â€ïž
Great tips, if only all parents were so proactive! As a teacher myself we appreciate parents like you who strive their best to make their kids as independent as possible. My 3yo twins will start preschool in September đŹđŹ Wish your boys all the best. Especially Jackson! đđ
I worked in reception at lunchtime for the past year and most children didnt know how to cut their food. So practicing with a knife and fork is a good one. X
Being a pre school teacher (3/4 year olds) these are great tips
How do you find out about these groups before the start?
I agree, so helpful to have a parentâs perspective as a teacher of young children starting school!
Sorry for the question, do the teachers not help with wiping after number 2 at all? What if it's really messy, especially for girls. That's what I am worried about right now.
@@EdwinaSY exactly what i am worried about.
Ah so good to hear from someone like yourself. Thanks for watching xx
My son starts preschool in September and few days ago I was in your channel trying to find preschool tips ! So happy you put this video up! Thanks
Amazing Mehak! Thanks for watching xx
My child is about 6 months younger than Jackson,.I started watching you when my child was born and Jackson was 6 months old. I've loved following along through each milestone. It's been great to get the heads up a few months ahead. My son starts school in Australia in early next year as well.
I've been following you since Jackson was 3 months old and my eldest was newborn and now she starts school in September. I cried when she tried her uniform on, she only goes to preschool 2 days a week so it's going to be so strange her not being here, but she loves learning and socialising so I know she will love it and blossom. I looked at her the other day and she seemed so grown up. Good luck for September and enjoy the summer xxx
Perfect timing, my 4 year old grandson starts in September. As ever so grateful Emily .
Ah I hope he gets on ok. Thanks for watching Jilly xx
My oldest was not used to lock the bathroom door at home - so we needed to practice being ok with thatđȘ
That's such a good point thanks
Oh wow I hadnât thought of this! Good point. He just leaves the door wide open at home đ
OMG didnt think of that. thank you
The first video I watched on your channel was what you packed in your hospital bag for Jackson. My son was due around the same time so I found it so helpful. Now I'm watching how to prepare that same boy for school! Thank you for all the handy tips and advice x
Youâre such a lovely mum!
Why emotional, itâs going to be fun for them, itâs so good to see them growing up and progressing to next stages đ
This was so helpful because my son is starting school in September . and Jackson is only 5 days older than him thanks for sharing đđ
Emily i love the way u dressâŠthe colors that u use and not just neutrals and pastelsâŠ
All the best to little Jackson! I started following you when I fell pregnant and Jackson was really little and now he is going to school!! Lots of love!
Ah thanks for watching for so long Shamonti xx
Perfect timing! I have been watching your you tube channel for a few years now right from when I was pregnant with my daughter (almost 4). It has since progressed into something we often watch together and she loves seeing your boys. My daughter is starting a British International school in Singapore (in reception) and I found this really helpful. Stressing as a first time school mum and your positive vibe and just general info is awesome.
Just also wanted to note: loved your nut allergy updates on CZcams and the Instagram live chat as my 9month old has a number of food allergies we have been navigating. We also love your honey mustard slow cooker recipe is awesome! I make this using dairy free options - Coconut Cream, and I just made it tonight with maple syrup instead of honey (because I ran out #improvisemoment).
My youngest starts preschool at the local school in September, she has been at a private nursery since she was 9 months old but it still feels like a big step, I think itâs the uniform, it makes them look so grown up. We canât talk about it just yet in our house, as she is just too excited to go and is so impatient to be a big girl, saying that she has always been impatient arriving in the work at just 4lbs 5 weeks early.
Aw how lovely!
Oh wow with three mummyâs boys mine have never been too excited đđ©
@@emilygifford4159 thanks for sharing, I just started following you! đ
As a ex TA Iâd say practice folding and putting clothes in a pile and also putting their socks inside their shoes if/when they have to take them off. If a child can keep together their belongings it makes it much quicker and easier for all involved but the basic socks inside shoes is a MUST!! đ
Oh thanks Emily, my son is starting his school nursery in September so this was a huge help!! I'm so nervous about it but I will keep cool and confident đ It must be a very emotional time For you with your baby starting school!! I can't believe it, it only seems like yesterday that you had him!! Wishing you loads of love and tissues đ„°
We make a back to school countdown with sticky notes and my son really likes that. He writes the numbers himself and looks so proud putting it up in his room! đđ
Hi Emily those are some great tips . I am a pre Kindey teacher and another great tip is practise the children packing Thier bag after lunch . Practice zips and them packing everything inside . It always such a great help for your little ones independence đ
Brilliant video Emily, so needed to see this. Also where is your top from its gorgeous đ
yayyy i commented asking for this video about a month ago! so excited to give it a watch! also emily you're SO NEARLY at 700k subs! what an amazing thing! i have been watching you for nearly 4 whole years now, so proud of you and your youtube journey! you should buy a great big cake to celebrate!
Ah thank you Jess it means the world xx
My daughter is starting preschool this year. This will be my first going to school. Iâm so excited for her. She cannot wait to experience it all, which is helping my emotions đ thanks for the tips as always Emily.
Thank you so much for this video Emily! Long-time watcher, first-time commenter from NZ - Iâm starting as a Reception teacher in September so itâs helpful to have these tips from a parentâs perspective! Iâm nervous about leaving my one-year-old son as Iâve loved being on maternity leave with him, but Iâm excited to teach 5-year-olds - hopefully my future students are as happy as Jackson! Thanks for the great content. Xx
My baby Emily loved this! I think the best advice was to get organized and to pretend you are excited even if it is a lie :D
Thank you for this video! I am going to start practicing getting ready in the morning and using all his school things like water bottle, backpack & lunch box so he can get use to everything đ
I swear you are my power of positivity that I like to charge from. Love you so much.
My Girl will go to school too this September and I am as well preparing her, got the uniform, the lunch boxes, water bottle , trained her to dress herself and she is doing great with going to the bathroom, still have not got the name tags, thanks also fo the tip of the shoes, I will check Next this week.
I wrote already my daily routine, but love the Idea of having one for her where she can but magnets on what she did.
Great video, we are in New Orleans, La- will start school next week. I appreciate your honesty about holding it together because it is mixed emotions as you love your kids so much. "I want you to go, I want you to stay." I wish us all Momma and Daddies peace.
We will do great no matter what the year brings.
Great tips Emily! I can not believe Jackson is going to school. I remember the home birth video you did. Time flies by so fast. Have a great day.
My sons starting school in September and heâs just turned 3 this month. Definitely need to work on helping him get dressed himself luckily we have mastered all the rest :)
Another tip, from a parent that's son starting year 1. A teacher once said, memory games, like put 5 toys under a blanket, remove one, get them to guess which one, and also, following instructions. Sounds daft, but my son would follow one, and forget the other two. So memory is a big one, along with play dough and messy play, getting pincers grip is essential for holding a pen/pencil. It builds up their strength for writing x
Hi Emily! So glad to see you are still going. †I used to watch you when my son was young, he is 7 now and my youngest is off to school! Time flies. Hi from Australia đŠđș
Thank you so much for such useful tips! My son is online schooling right now but sessions will start sometime of course and i have been so nervous about him actually going to the school and being on his own. Would love to see a vlog on Jackson's first day of school! Hope he loves it :)
Have watched Jackson since he was 1.wow he grew up fast.so cute đ
Awe Jackson looks so cute in his uniform!!!
I'm already getting emotional. My son starts Pre-K3 next month!
I was literally just sitting and panicking about this.Thank you for your tips! They help so much! Ive been struggling to explain the concept of school uniform to my daughter (she's 3 and she'll be one of the youngest in reception!) and she's obsessed with her pink sandles and throws a hissy fit about wearing anything else đ
I donât know why Iâm watching as my daughter is only 1 đ guess Iâm mentally preparing myself! Great video as always Emily â€ïž
Thank you Emily!!! Btw, you look amazing! These tips are soo helpful!! My firstborn is now headed to preschool, Iâm so emotional about it, but youâre right, she will flourish so much đ thanks again and best of luck to little Jackson!
Emily thank you so much for this video, fantastic tips, Iâm super excited to get myself organised to help the little one settle in to reception. Thank you so much xoxo
This was so helpful Emily thank you so much! I started watching your channel when my youngest baby was only a few months old and you had just had Jackson- canât believe itâs been 5 years and theyâre off to school now! Best of luck to you Iâm a bit emotional but happy for him đ„°đ„°
This was so helpful!! Timely, my oldest starts preschool soon!!
Best timed video! Especially as my daughter hasn't had the full school transition experience like other older kids have.
Aw ty def food for thought! My eldest starts school this Sept and def an emotional time but def agree to stay as positive as possible about it! I hope everyoneâs first days go well :)
My son will start school reception in September little nervous for him because he has a speech delay but im sure he will make new friends.great tips Emily
Iâve just ordered my daughters uniform and Iâm so emotional now đ Iâm not sure if Iâll be able to hold it together until sheâs in the classroom but Iâll try my best. Thank you for sharing your tips, they are really helpful xx
Thank you! I really needed to hear this. My son is starting school and These are excellent tips that I will definitely use
Good timing. My daughter is going to school in September
Wow I had no idea kids start school at age 4 in the UK! We start at 7, and Finland is on the top of the world in Pisa tests.
Emily these are fantastic tips thank you! Sending our very best wishes as know how nerve wracking all these first/last steps are. Your such a good mummy and have set them up to cope so well. x
Love all tips †đ â„
Great video as always! My son is not even 3 months old and I am already 'taking notes', everyone keeps telling me, time flies, so I better prepare đ Love your hair like this as well đ€.
As a mum of 5 children I have the stamptastic stamp too, itâs the BEST thing ever. So quick for freshly labelling new items. I just bought the stamp with our surname and itâs great for hand me downs. With my first I had his full name and then had to sharpie it out đ€Šđ»ââïž
I wish I wouldâve thought about this with my first! đ
Iâm watching this while laying near my son who is nearly 2 and wonât even be going to pre school soon never mind school but Iâm crying at the thought of it đ Iâd love to see a follow on video in a few months on how youâre dealing with all of the children going to school and how Jackson gets on too! If you have any tips on allowing them to go to pre school too that would be great because Iâm super attached to my son and heâs attached to me too so I canât imagine him going to nursery đ„ș
Hi, my little boy is a September baby too, starting school here in Scotland in August. Although looking forward to it, def a bit emotional too! Our things to work on are getting on socks, and eating less messily! I need to order his school bag & thanks for the reminder about labelling everything. His school doesn't have school uniform so it's a lot of labelling!
Great tips.
I really like your top/dress, I like all the bright colours.
Iâve been watching your videos since Jackson was a baby & canât believe that heâs about to start school.
Hey Emily. Thankyou for the top tips. My first and only child starts school in September also. Would you be able to do a video on lunch box ideas and also after school snack ideas please? Xx đ
Great video Emily! If your child is having school dinners It's worth having them practise carrying a tray at home. My daughter's teacher mentioned that she was so independent with carrying her lunch tray đ€Ł.
Also worth wearing school shoes around the house to get used to them.
Thanks Emily! This is so helpful! My little one starts preschool in September!!
My son turns 3 this Sunday and in September goes to nursery for the very first time. Iâm so excited for him but so sad that heâs even old enough x
Emily we love you for this video! I literally needed this vid!!! X
I don't know why I am watching this as I will be starting year 11 in september but I found that the stuff you recommended makes sense. I rember when my little brother started school his friend behind him in the line started crying then they all seemed to start.
Love your helpful tips, checklists and advice videos đđŒâ€ïž
Just saw you at center parks as Iâm staying at the same time. Was rushing at the time and felt a bit nervous to go up to you but hopefully I will see you again and say hi Emilyđ
Ah make sure you say hi if you see us again Ella. Thanks for watching xx
Some really handy tips! What a great video. Thanks!
you always cheer me up Emily đ love you đđ
This is a really great video but it's making me so nervous because you're raising such good points. My daughter is 4 now and she will only be in pre school next year. But gosh I haven't even thought of some of the things you are mentioning now.. thanks so much â€
Super useful information and tips. Really well considered. Good luck to you too Emily and Matt. It is an adjustment for you - another season in life. I remember when my youngest went to kinder/school, l felt lâd lost a limb for a bit. Itâs interesting that the school year starts in September in the UK. ( for prep) It makes sense to give the young ones a start for 3-4 months before Christmas break though. đ§Ąâ€ïž
Really helpful tips! My eldest is starting school in August so this is great timing!
Excelente vĂdeo E. mil gracias!!
Love your top / dress !!! X so cute and some great tips for my youngest starting school too ! X

Great tips thanks Emily! My son is starting school in september.
My youngest is starting in Semptember too! Great tips, I will be printing the chart, and love the fridge command centre idea aswell! This video also made me cryđ because I also feel anxious especially their first week of school... but we got thisđȘ. Here's to a great start in Septemberđ, May God keep them safe.

My daughter (3) is going from daycare (size of a small garden apartment) to a big preschool (my son went to Pre-K there at 4 yo and this year theyâre expanding to offer a 3 yo program.) Iâm super emotional about September! Not quite sure when I should start talking to her about it but itâll be here before we know it đł

Thank you for this helpful video
Love listening to your sitting videos like this about parenting:) you always pass positive vibes about parenting for me:) and love your nails:).
Also if you can make video about how you and matt find time to discuss important matters or what or what not to discuss in front of kids or how you manage to keep it alive between you two (personal i know but if you can post something based on relationship with 3 kids:) ). Thanks:).
These are great tips!!! I have three boys as well and my youngest is going into second grade(7 years old) and many of these will be helpful⊠like the Tupperware tips! So clever! Thank you xoxo also I love your shirt!
