We can say that If the child is well-prepared at an early age encouraged to spend time playing and inspired to learn and grow then, they will be able to interact within their environment they will have more positive personal and social relationships. And they will have the ability to control their actions after that, the child is ready for 1st grade. And when in class they will adapt to their new surroundings with enough strength to overcome challenges and succeed.
