Seven in 10 parents worry their child won’t make friends when starting school, according to research

Seven in 10 parents worry their child won’t make friends when starting school, according to research. A poll of 1,000 parents identified the top concerns among those with kids starting school next month, with 71 per cent citing ‘settling in’ as their biggest worry. Three in 10 are concerned about their little ones being able to go to the toilet by themselves, and a fifth can’t guarantee their kids will behave all day. The research was conducted by Disney Junior’s show Vampirina, who also produced a video guide to help kids make new playmates.
