Starting kindergarten can feel like a huge milestone for both kids and parents. In this episode, Liz and Abby are joined by veteran kindergarten teacher Jennifer MacDonald to talk about what kindergarten readiness really means. Together, they explore the differences between kindergarten in Ontario and Florida, the social and emotional skills that matter most, common parent worries, toileting expectations, sleep and school success, and simple ways to help children feel confident heading into the classroom. Whether your child is starting school this fall or you're just beginning to think about it, this conversation offers practical tips, reassurance, and an inside look at what educators wish every parent knew.
