Ep 41: What makes a successful transition to school?


Listen Later

Most of us remember what it was like to start school. Intimidating new places, being unsure of the schedule, lots of new potential friends and maybe a few foes. It’s a huge moment for kids, and their families, that brings with it a lot of big, complex challenges.

In this episode, Jon Sutton chats with Professor Claire Hughes, Deputy Director of the Centre for Family Research at the University of Cambridge, about the hurdles families face when children start school, what it means to be ‘school ready’, and more.

This is Episode 41 of PsychCrunch, the podcast of the British Psychological Society's Research Digest, sponsored by Zanda.

Hosted by Jon Sutton. Audio wizardry by Jeff Knowler. Edited by Emma Barratt.
