Starting school doesn’t have to start with stress.
 
The jump from daycare to school is a big moment, new routines, new environments, new expectations. And while it’s exciting, it can also feel like a minefield of worry, especially if you're unsure how your child will cope.
 
If you're:
• Worried about separation anxiety or tricky drop-offs
• Wondering how to build routines that actually work
• Hoping to make this transition smooth and supportive, without second-guessing yourself
 
You’re not alone. 
 
And you don’t need to figure it out from scratch.
 
As a psychologist (and a mum who is navigating this transition myself), I created Daycare to School Transitions to give parents, educators, and clinicians the tools to make this shift feel manageable, even joyful.
 
Inside, you’ll find:
Practical strategies to help children settle into new routines with confidence
Tips for easing separation anxiety and handling emotional mornings
A clear breakdown of what matters most in those first few weeks
Guidance on how to support emotional wellbeing using real-world attachment strategies
Skills to practise ahead of time, plus how to make the most of transition days
 
This guide helps you move from anxious and reactive to calm, prepared, and connected, so your child can start school with the support they need to thrive.
 
Because a strong start builds lasting confidence.

With the right prep, you can make that first step one you both feel good about.
