Your child should be able to control their emotions and express their feelings not only to you but also to others without fear. You child should also show the ability of being able to take care of their belongings for example toys clothes. If they can do this at home, they should be able to do it in school too.

A child who can follow instructions and interacts well socially with adults and other children and enjoys playing with them is also ready for schooling.
