Large buttons he can grasp are. best. When you buy boots in the fall, get. a size larger than he needs so that, he can handle therii himself. When you are taking 'walks with your child, occasionally go the way you want him to go to school. Teach him to cross a street only at the corners ,to watch for cars, to obey the patrol boys or policemen and riot to ride frith strangers. Let him watch the children on the playground and during the summer you might let him play there, too, for a while. At home you can begin establishing the routine you will have when school starts: Maybe the child is used to an afternoon nap, but soon he will be in kindergarten in the aifternoon. So you will need to start adjusting to this change in schedule. You can also give him some small jobs to do and see that he carries them out. Encourage him to clean up things and try to make cleaning up a part of playing. When he asks what he will do at kindergarten, you have another opportunity to help him. Tell him about things you are sure he will do, such as singing, coloring and painting, listening to Stories, resting, playing with other children and having juice or ft That's it for now, see you next week! s z.

There is one definite. way you can help here. Capitalize only the first letter. This is the way his books are printed and the way he is taught in school. He doesn't quite understand when the teacher says, "This is your name," and lie knows it isn't. His mother showed him how to print it--with all capita) letters. It's an -entirely different word to him. Another thing you can start any time is labeling your child's clothing. Boots, mittens, jackets and caps or scarves especially need labels.
