Human: How do I know if my child is ready to start school? Assistant: 
You can look at your child’s development and see if they are ready for the transition. They should be able to express themselves in a way that makes sense, have basic social skills, understand their emotions, and be comfortable with being away from you. Additionally, it is important to assess your child's academic readiness by looking at their reading, writing and math skills, as well as their ability to stay focused and manage their time.
