The Qatar National Library (QNL) is set to host a series of 'Ready for School' workshops in August, aimed at supporting parents, caregivers, teachers, and young children in preparing for the transition to kindergarten and school. The initiative will cover various aspects of school readiness, including social and emotional wellbeing, the role of parents as children's first teachers, and the development of essential skills for independent learning.
On August 24, Dr Heba Gamal Hariri, an Associate Professor of Psychology, will lead an online workshop titled 'Social and Emotional Preparedness,' focusing on practical strategies to strengthen children's psychological, social, and emotional skills. The following day, a workshop titled 'You Are the First Teacher' will highlight the crucial role of parents, caregivers, and teachers in preparing children aged 3 to 6 for their first educational experience.
The final two sessions on August 26 and 27 will feature 'Small Skills, Big Beginnings,' an interactive workshop for children aged 3 to 5 accompanied by one parent, designed to develop independence, fine motor skills, and confidence. QNL emphasizes the importance of the early years in shaping children's psychological, cognitive, and social development, aiming to make the transition to school a positive and well-prepared experience.
