The first guide in the Growing Up series for parents of children aged 5-8. This is the bridge guide -- consolidating everything from the Little Bodies, Big World foundation and extending it into the school context. Covers how each of the ten 0-5 concepts applies at school age, what's genuinely new now school is part of the picture (new adults, peer dynamics, changing rooms, confusing information from friends), a word-for-word five-minute check-in conversation to run at the start of every school year, age-by-age guidance from 5 through 8, and how to handle the most common school-related body safety situations. The perfect starting point whether you completed the 0-5 series or are beginning here.
