Prepare your child to start school

Are you a parent of a child who is :


  • starting school for the first time?
  • transitioning to face-to-face, in-person classes after distance learning?
  • having a difficult time adjusting to school?


If you fit any of these, we've designed this masterclass and toolkit for you!


If your child is starting school, you're probably feeling a mix of excitement and anxiety. 


On the one hand, you're excited for your child to be in a formal learning environment, with more opportunities and to make friends with other kids their age. 


But on the other hand, you might be worried about how they'll adjust to a new school, make friends, and keep up with their classmates. 


This masterclass will give you the tools you need to support your child through the transition. We also included resources like a school readiness checklist, transition tips, and activities to help you prepare your child for the return to traditional schooling. 


We'll help you understand the challenges your child may face during the transition, and provide practical tips and strategies for overcoming them.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Is this only for students who are attending a traditional school?
    This is for students aged 12 and below who are attending face-to-face classes in a school setting - whether the schools are classified as traditional, progressive, or a combination of both. This may not be suitable for students who are homeschooling or attending online classes.
  • My child has special needs. Will this help?
    We've created this class to be helpful for children of all abilities, whether neurotypical or neurodivergent. However, children with special needs may need help beyond what we can provide in the masterclass.
  • Do I need prior training or experience to be able to understand or implement this?
    No! We have really designed this masterclass for parents. Based on research and from our experiences working with families, we know that these are strategies that any parent can use at home.
  • Do you offer refunds?
    We stand behind the quality of the course material, which came from over a decade of professional and personal experiences. But if you feel that this did not help you, email hello@discerningparenting.com within fourteen (14) days of enrollment and you'll receive a full refund.
