[quote=Anonymous]I’m a preschool teacher with 3’s and 4’s. 3.5 is not too late to start! Half my class is new to school and they do just fine. So much is temperament and how the kids are raised at home. The best things that you can do between now and when he starts is to help him become independent. Take the extra time to have him put his own shoes on, get his own water or snack, and clean up his own toys. Work on potty skills including wiping #2 (he does it then you do a “check wipe”) and pulling his pants up and down. Make sure he can wash his hands properly (not just running one hand under water). And sometimes make him wait to talk if he wants your attention. So many parents break any conversation to let their preschooler interrupt/talk and it is a real hindrance to their patience and ability to succeed in a classroom where the teacher can’t stop reading to discuss their every observation of a book or their every thought/idea.
