Kindergarten Questions: 31 Days to Calm Nerves, Build Confidence, and Get Ready for School
By Dr. Peter Fogarty
Starting kindergarten is a huge milestone—not just for children, but for parents too. Kindergarten Questions is the ultimate parent-child guide designed to turn nervous “what ifs?” into confident “I’ve got this!”
This book is a 31-day step-by-step question-and-answer journey that prepares both the child and parent emotionally, socially, and practically for the first day of school. Every day features one real question children often ask before starting kindergarten—questions like:
“Will you leave me there?”
“What if I miss you?”
“What if someone is mean to me?”
“Can I bring something that reminds me of you?”
“What if I don’t understand what the teacher says?”
Each daily entry offers a child-centered, emotionally smart answer—written in a warm and reassuring tone—plus tips for parents on how to respond calmly, confidently, and consistently.
This book doesn’t lecture. It connects, soothes, and empowers. Whether your child is excited, anxious, shy, curious, or a mix of it all, Kindergarten Questions gives you the words and the tools to navigate this important transition together.
