Lessons Learned:: The Kindergarten Survival Guide for Parents

by Jeannie Podest

There is something absolutely magical about a child who is embarking on the amazing journey called kindergarten. They are so innocent, pure, and impressionable. They are at an incredible stage in their lives—so young, yet so very ready. This book was written as a gift to parents whose children are at this wonderful stage. My intention is to share with you every insight that I have gained as a mother and as a teacher. Whether this is your first child going into kindergarten or your last child—even if you’ve had a gap in time where you haven’t been in a kindergarten classroom for a while—this book is for you. Enjoy!

So many, many pearls of wisdom from a veteran kindergarten teacher/parent. I am finding Jeannie's advice to be exactly what I need in this season of my life.

Jeannie Podest gives exceptional advice from her professional and personal experience as a seasoned kindergarten teacher and a mother of 4. She has a way of conveying pertinent information to parents of rising kindergartners that makes the reader feel like you're chatting with a neighbor. She's honest and fair with her observations and tips. I really enjoyed her collection of anecdotes from the classroom! It's nice to be reminded that we're all in this together and to be kind and patient with one another - children, parents, teachers, and school staff - we're all on the same team. 😊
