Overview

The first 100 days of school are not just an adjustment period. They are a foundation. During this time, children form emotional patterns that shape how they approach learning, relationships, and challenges long after the school year begins. Excitement, fear, curiosity, and overwhelm often coexist, even in children who appear confident and capable. The First 100 Days of School is a thoughtful, practical guide for parents who want to support their child's emotional well-being while building calm, confidence, and resilience from the very beginning of the school journey. Rather than focusing on discipline or academic pressure, this book helps parents understand how young children experience emotions and how emotional intelligence develops during the early years. The book explores how a child's brain responds to change, separation, and new environments, explaining why emotional reactions can feel intense during this stage. Parents will learn how to create predictable routines and emotionally safe home environments that reduce anxiety and support regulation. Special focus is given to the first 100 days of school, offering clear guidance on common emotional challenges, adjustment stress, and ways to strengthen a child's sense of security and independence. Readers will discover practical strategies for helping children identify and express emotions, calm themselves during stressful moments, and turn frustration into problem-solving. The book also addresses social and emotional growth in the classroom, including friendships, empathy, conflict, and emotional repair. Each approach is designed to fit naturally into everyday family life without rigid systems or unrealistic expectations. Beyond the child's experience, this book supports parents as well. It offers guidance on avoiding overwhelm, reducing school-related stress, and partnering effectively with teachers. The final chapters focus on caring for parental emotional well-being and building a long-term emotional intelligence plan that grows with the child over time. Written in a warm, empathetic, and evidence-based style, The First 100 Days of School is ideal for parents of toddlers, preschoolers, and early elementary children who want real solutions rooted in understanding and connection. This is not a book about perfection. It is a guide for steady progress, emotional growth, and raising children who feel safe, capable, and emotionally strong-at school and beyond.
