As a primary school teacher I can honestly say you would be a dream parent to have! You seem so understanding about the challenges children and teachers face everyday at school. I have forwarded this video to my head of early years and asked her to share it with the new parents of children coming into foundation this year. Thank you Emily 👍🏻👩🏻🏫
I’m a firm believer in everything happening for a reason. I’ve been watching your videos since your name tag when you were pregnant with Jackson. I’m not a parent nor am I married so I thought it was strange I was drawn to your videos. Recently I’ve been placed as the legal guardian of my nephew and I have been binge watching your videos and they’re helping so much! Especially this one! Thank you so much Emily! Love all the way from New York!
As a primary school teacher I would say you're definitely doing the right thing getting caleb to read any words at all, even if they are just from memory this is brilliant and helps to build confidence and sight memory of certain sounds and letters. Amazing video as always! X
I’m a Reception teacher and it’s so refreshing to hear a parent like yourself understand what will help your child when starting school. Thank you for sharing and good luck to Caleb on starting school (and to you, it’s always scarier for the parents than the children)!
For The Love Of Sorted ok thank you i will check them out! And no im actually in the us the children do sit at tables but it is intresting to hear about how you guys do it 😃
I don’t think there is a primary school teacher who wouldn’t agree with your amazing advice! I am a reception teacher and you have it spot on with how good it is for the children to be as independent as they can. It is great for their confidence. I hope Caleb has a fantastic start to school and with an amazing mum like you I’m sure he will do really well.
I love you emily. Addicted to your videos since I discovered you when I was pregnant with my 3rd baby. She's 9 weeks now and tbh most days I feel I am winning at life. That's down to you. You are so inspiring, motivational and practical. You put out amazing videos and your positive energy and smile really makes me and I'm sure others feel we can do anything. What a beautiful family u are 😍
This is such an informative video. I don’t have to worry about it for a couple of years but still it’s getting me thinking and I know I can revisit. Thank you
Brilliant ideas. As a retired Primary School Teacher I love your positivity and you’re parenting. I’m sure Caleb will have a smooth transition into his new class. Great work 🤗👍
Saving this for future reference when my baby gets to schooling age who is now just 9 months old Want to see more of your monthly fav videos and also on baby and toddler toys Thanks for all the wonderful hacks emily Love from india
I'm rewatching your school-related videos now and that last tip really hit home. My eldest is starting primary school next Monday and my youngest is starting preschool tomorrow, and I know there's going to be lots of tears after we leave him. We are being very enthusiastic about it when we talk to him, so hopefully he'll be fine. It's just that we'll come back home and he's not going to be there for the first time after 3 years. When our eldest went to preschool we still had a baby to care for, but now it's different. I am very excited and at the same time dreading it!
My first born is starting kindergarten here in Canada in September and I’m excited and so anxious as well. He is a smart boy and sociable but you just worry if he will make a friend, feel welcome, will the teacher comfort him when he is upset or hurt, etc 😢. I’m gonna miss my little buddy for sure....he’s the one person I talk to all day long 😊. Great tips and good luck Caleb!
THANK YOU EMILY FOR A, WONDERFUL BACK TO SCHOOL VLOG. EVEN THOUGH I MY CHILDREN ARE UNIVERSITY STAGE, I STILL REMEMBER SCHOOL UNIFORMS AND GETTING READY FOR SCHOOL... THIS ACTUALLY BROUGHT A TEAR TO MY EYE... LEARNING TO TIE THEIR OXFORD SHOE'S UP AND HOOKING THEIR TOGGLES ON THEIR COSTS... SUCH LOVING AND FOND MEMORIES.. 😍😍😍THANK YOU. 💕
This is great. I used to be a reception teacher and the practise over the summer to help develop their independence in dressing and eating is such a great idea.
What a great video! My little baby is still tiny but I felt like I am already prepared for when she goes to school! Lovely useful ideas, as always, thank you so much Emily
Such a great video! This is so helpful to parents with children just starting school and for teachers. I love how you thought of things that will help your child be successful and also things so he won't embarrassed in front of his new friends. I just love this!
I love that you made this video. It's such a helpful one and I've not seen anything else like it online and of course you explain everything so well. Your such a great mum and an excellent role model. Love your content ❤❤
Amazing video! Please please please share more videos like this. I'm new in Uk and my child is about to start school and I'm learning new things everyday. This video was a massive help. Thank you Emily as always 👍🏼😍
I was waiting for this lol xxx great tips you are so right about giving them the responsibility of dressing etc . Transitions are key and my sons school gave him a book with pictures of his class and coat hook / toilets etc . A routine is key and Getting organised. Would love a vid on organising paperwork / lunches and any tips on after school as this can be challenging for parents xx
Emily, from a teachers perspective, those tips are great. Encouraging independence before starting school will definitely help make the transition easier.
Emily, I loved this video. I’ve been meaning to ask you to make a video on how you taught your kids about safety. There are many resources out there, but once you go down the rabbit hole of researching them you get really worked up about all the dangers. I’d love to get your perspective as an experienced and positive mom ❤️
This is brilliant I work in a pre-school and this video would be amazing to show the parents of the school leaver children! The only other suggestion we give is encourage your child to carry their plate to the table to practice if they have school dinners, they’ll have a lot of friends to navigate around and carrying a lunch tray can be challenging! I love what Anna saccone joly does too she puts a funky napkin in her kids lunch boxes 😍 I would have lived that as a child. Great tips Emily will recommend your video xx
Aww Emily ur a perfect parent, though I'm a mum of 11 year son n 6 year daughter , there's so much new to learn frm ur videos, particularly this one , that's why I like ur channel,these little things u share with us seems little for us but big deals for our children to handle in schools n ur having solutions for every little thing , thank you dear😘😘
Great tips Emily!! I was a primary school teacher and these tips are great! I made a back to school video the other day and shared an amazing way to label uniform! Iron in and stick in labels just never worked for me. Good luck to your boys when they go back to school xxx
Great tips! The lunch tips are so important because there is so many kids for one teacher to help. The uniform is so cute! Off topic, You always look beautiful !
I was teaching primary 1 last year and I recommend Jack Hartmann's counting and rhyming videos as well as Jolly Phonics - great videos that kids enjoy and encourages their learning as well!
My eldest starts school next week. Eek 😬Thanks so much for making this video and the tips as well. I already have labels and most of the uniform but the hacks/tips have been invaluable.
What a smart hack to teach a child to put his jacket on, I’ll try it with my twins, thank you. That’s a very good point when you talked about getting jackets with few buttons or a zipper 👍👏👏
Lovely 😊 video with great 👍🏻 tips. My little boy starts reception this time too but luckily he has being attending the nursery that is inside the school and has being wearing a uniform so fingers crossed he should be ok 👌🏻 good luck for your little one ☝️ xxx
Love the video really helpful!! Also will you be making a back to school morning routine of a mum like last year? (Currently watching last years now lol) xx
Good tips 👍🏻 we played school this morning to practise putting on and taking off shoes, opening the lunch box and walking in to classroom! It went down a treat because I let my LG put on her uniform and school bag etc
What a helpful video Emily! Although we're not up to school yet, my 2,5 year old is going to start preschool (or our equivalent in the Netherlands) in 2 weeks. All the mom feels here 😭 I would love a video on how you're helping Jackson start nursery!
SOOO glad you did this video. My eldest Leo is starting school in September and I have been lost!! I don’t have a lot of mum friends so you tube mommy’s are my lifeline for things like this. THANK YOU! Good luck Caleb 😘 xx another quick question, how are you coping with him starting school emotionally?, I’m an anxious mess 😩! Xx
This is a brilliant video...it will be so so useful to so many! My eldest is going into year 1 and my youngest will be starting the pre school nursery which makes me so sad. Even though it is the best thing for her, she is so shy. I just hope she settles ok and starts to enjoy herself. She’s just doing mornings but will be strange neither of them being with me 😢 xx
Love this video!! Do you have any tips for starting Jackson? My daughter is the same age and will be starting nursery 2 days a week in September here in the U.S.
As a primary school teacher I can honestly say you would be a dream parent to have! You seem so understanding about the challenges children and teachers face everyday at school. I have forwarded this video to my head of early years and asked her to share it with the new parents of children coming into foundation this year. Thank you Emily 👍🏻👩🏻🏫
Emma Slater that‘s a wonderful idea! 👏🏼
Oh wow that's excellent hope Emily see's this message!
This is very useful info. Spot on! Thank you Emily. I taught first graders for 17 years.

Wow these are wonderful!! So sensitive to the children as well as to the teachers ♥️ you gave me some great ideas
I’m a firm believer in everything happening for a reason.

Thank you so much Emily! Love all the way from New York!
I am a primary school teacher and think it would be amazing if all my parents saw your tips, so so useful! Thank you!
You should make a video with how you fit learning into your everyday routine. ❤️
Yes please 🙏🙏🙏🙏I struggle sometimes I get all my chores done and learning suffers or the other way round X factor
Curly Proverbz you’re definitely not alone there ❤️
Absolutely love the idea, that Caleb's teacher made a house call to get to know him better. Love your channel.
