Pre-school for the first time

I remember this well with my son (11) he had always been home He adapted so well!! Loved it and excelled You’re doing the right thing by bigging it up to her But she absolutely doesn’t have to go!! It’s Great when kids do but if they’re getting what they need at home and interactions with peers etc then kids do really well in school even without preschool x

Yes 😭 my boy has been with me/my husband/parents and he starts in 2 weeks. We’ve got another on the way and I feel awful that his whole little world is about to change!

My son is 3 and he’s going into class 2 of nursery. He started nursery in September and he loved it! I was worried he’d cry for me but only had a few tears for around 15 mins and then he was fine. Hopefully she enjoys it and if not then it’s not compulsory for her to go until she turns 5 and starts school x

She is such a sensitive child and I’ve tried my best to socialise her but she gets so overwhelmed in group settings - think that’s the main reason I’m so worried about her going. Not sure if it’s just her personality or if she will end up being diagnosed with something in the future (there are a few other concerns). But I suppose like you have said if she doesn’t get on well she can carry on staying at home with family and we can try again in the future 🙏🏼

Yes mine is starting! Some days I'm like wow I can't wait for a break and some days I feel sick that she's going! Fortunately she is desperate to go and she really needs that interaction from others, otherwise I'd keep her 😂 I see it as I still get her for 2.5 days at home and she'll still be my little baby ❤️ the whole thing just goes so fast...doesn't seem long ago when my first was starting and he's going into year 4!

… just wait till your lil one comes home telling you how much fun they had and how they played with sand and in the garden on the bikes…. That smile is priceless… I hope you find ease in the process hun!! I remember when my little man started… wasn’t easy but has been amazing for his general development ❤️❤️

Yes, my son is starting nursery in September. I feel exactly the same as you. I’m dreading it so much and he keeps saying am I coming with him as he has never been away from me apart from a couple of days out with his dad 😭 He is my last baby as well so I think everything hurts more!
