MORAYFIELD, Australia - TelAve -- Would you like your child to become more independent? There are key steps you can take at home to help them:

*Let your child practise dressing and packing their bag
*Use lunch containers they can open on their own
*Encourage toileting independence with support and patience.

These small actions at home can make a big difference at school.

Helping children to manage everyday tasks on their own makes them feel capable, secure, and ready to flourish in a new environment. While reading and writing skills are essential, being able to open a lunchbox, go to the toilet, or put on a jacket are just as crucial when starting school.

When children can manage their own basic needs=, they often feel more settled and ready to learn. It also reduces stress and increases resilience when they face and overcome small challenges throughout the day.

Children with strong self-help skills usually:

*Adapt more easily to routines
*Show greater confidence in new situations
*Handle social interactions more successfully
*Experience a stronger sense of autonomy and pride.
