Hands up if your child is off to big school next year!

It’s happening on Monday, 9 December at 7.30pm AEDT (6:30pm AEST), and this webinar is being led Dr Kaylene Henderson, who’s one of Australia’s top parenting experts.
Dr Kaylene has years of professional experience as a child psychiatrist, and after sending three of her own kids off to school, she’s perfectly placed to share some practical tips with us newbies!
During the webinar, Dr Kaylene will provide expert advice to help your family make a smooth and confident transition to school.
She will share:
- Tips to build familiarity with what’s to come
