Hello everyone. My little brother is going to be going to pre-k before too long and I want to make sure he is prepared. We have the whole summer coming up so I was wondering if anyone knew about anything good to do before he starts pre-k.

He loves to color and draw and he loves being read stories. He hasn’t really spent much time around other kids alot tho. How do I make sure he’s ready for a classroom? Thanks.

Take him to a lil kids park as much as you can. Like every weekend. When you're there, be on the periphery and encourage him to go play with other kids. Don't hover right next. It's ok to make the intros and then go hang on a bench. Idea is to get him playing with other kids by himself, getting into lil disagreements, dealing with kids that aren't nice, etc.

Thanks. He is very shy and so I think helping him talk to others will be a big help
