Starting primary school can cause all kinds of anxiety for children and parents.  

Having a good routine, going to bed at the same time and getting up at the same time will help. Helping your child to be independent, using the toilet by themselves, getting dressed by themselves, using a knife and fork are just as important as their learning journey in school.
