Lighthouse Conversations: Learning Readiness • Tuesday, September 15

Join us for a special parent event with Heidi Tringali, pediatric occupational therapist, speaker, and author of The Readied Child: Parenting Tools for Learning and Life Readiness. With more than 30 years of experience helping children and families, Heidi offers practical, compassionate guidance for understanding what true readiness looks like—not just for school, but for life.

In a world that often emphasizes early achievement, parents can feel pressure to push skills before children are fully prepared. Heidi helps families take a broader view of readiness, focusing on the physical, emotional, developmental, and practical tools children need to grow into capable, resilient learners.

During this session, parents will gain helpful insight into how children develop the foundations for classroom success, how to set developmentally appropriate goals, and how to support each child’s unique path toward confidence and independence. This event is designed to equip parents with simple, practical strategies they can use at home as they help their children thrive in learning, relationships, and everyday life.
