In this video, Speech Pathologist Jules Tush explains school readiness in Australia in a clear, practical way, including what children actually need to be school-ready, common school readiness myths (and why academics aren’t the priority), emotional, social, and communication skills that matter most. This video is designed for parents of preschoolers and early primary-aged children who want to make a confident, informed decision, without pressure or comparison. If you’re worried about your child’s communication, regulation, or confidence this will help you understand what’s typical, what’s not, and when extra support can help.
