It's that time of year when parents are looking for schools for their new kindergartners - but it their kindergartner really ready for school?  Many parents are opting to delay their child's entry into kindergarten by a year based on the recommendations of the teachers.  One of the most important of the skills and abilities that your child should have before they enter kindergarten for the first time is to be able to sit still for at least 5-10 minutes.  Bringing your child to storytime may serve as a useful gauge to see if they can cooperate with other children, can sit for longer than 5 minutes, can listen to a book, and can follow instructions - all of which are skills necessary for a successful time in kindergarten.
