How Do I Deal with My Son Going to Kindergarden?

I just want you to know that you are normal! It is hard letting your first go to school. Be thankful and happy that your son is so excited to go to school. It is such a great thing for him. To make friends and be in an atmosphere that will make him a stronger and happier little boy than I am sure he already is. I have a little boy that did very well in kindergarten but as time went on first, second, third he was so upset to go to school and had such anxiety about it he would cry every morning i dropped him off. It is a much better feeling knowing that they are happy than scared. My son is now in 4th grade and we have gotten his fear and anxiety under control and he is now a happy child and looks forward to going to school each and every day. Now on the other hand my son who is in first grade could care less if he even says goodbye he loves to go. This is a sad feeling that he can just run off without even a goodbye but the fact that he is happy is such a stronger feeling. Enjoy your baby and your time alone with her. You had that time with your son now enjoy it with her. Good Luck! Be Happy!

I know all to much how you feel. When my daughter started kindergarten last year I was still pregnant with my son. I cried for the first week every time I would drop her off. She however had a blast everyday and was so excited to come home and show me all the new things that she learned. I use to make my daughters lunch for her everyday and I would draw little pictures on a piece of paper to let her know that I was thinking of her. This I think helped me more then her. But it did make me feel better. Take tissues with you! It does get better with each passing day.

I just went through that and a couple of days ago I got the new parent laugh because I went up to a teacher and told him that I was a new parent and please keep an eye on her because I don't trust her being on the playground by herself. It's hard but it's getting easier as time goes by. I usually take a nap and by the time you know it they are back home. It's the parents that suffer the first day of school the kids are just like whatever. I'm sure your son is doing awesome and he is making new friends.Don't worry about it(and you can still make him lunch if you want to)

Hey Mom. I am in the same boat. Single Mom. 5-yr old off to school and I just finished school myself. I am also just starting a new business. I am a licensed massage therapist. Can you take an hour out of your day to pamper yourself? You can cry / talk about things and get papmpered.
