Starting School: A Family Affair!
Starting school is a BIG milestone in children's lives, and can be a challenging time for families, as you will hear from the audio-clips in this resource. These feature parents who took part in either the Ready or Not Study or the New Fathers and Mothers Study.
*All parents gave permission to share their audio-clips. Please do not download them, but you are welcome to use the transcripts. Illustrator Karin Eklund has the copyright to the images.
