Moms~~how did you feel when your youngest child started school?

Question

My kids are no strangers to being around lots of kids socially. They have gone to daycare since they were infants. But now my youngest is starting school and I don't know what to do. I'm nervous about it and know she is too and I try to sound all pumped and say "oh kindergarten is SOOO much fun! You're going to love it!" but at the same time, I worry so much about her too.

How can I make this transition easier on her and also on myself?

Any kind words of encouragement moms?

Please and thank you!

Answer 1

I felt the same way when my youngest went off to school. I felt abandoned! Lol! I just tried to make school sound fun and exciting. I let her pick out her own backpack and school clothes. She enjoyed being able to do that. You'll be surprised how quickly kids can adapt to new situations. I think your daughter's going to be fine...it might take a while for you to feel better! Try not to worry to much and good luck!
