My first child is starting Kindergarten this Fall; actually, school begins in August. Since this is my first child, I'm very nervous about her first days of school.
I've prepared her well by putting her in preschool for the past years, she went on Fridays every week. As far as it's all concerned, she knows how to spell her name and some other words, knows the alphabet, numbers to 20, simple adding, colors, shapes and some other concepts...
However, I'm worried about her starting school for some reason. Maybe it's normal for Moms to feel like this or something for their child entering school for the first time.
If you have any stories or advise concerning your child's first days of school; I would love the encouragement.
Thank you in advance,
NM

Karuna replied. Hi
My 4 year old goes to YMCA since she's 3, very well versed, knows her alphabets, writes her first & last name, shapes, colors, great computer skills etc. I'm in NY and I need to wait until Sep 2004(she turns 5 in March 04)to be able to put her in KG, for now she will carry on with preschool.
Despite the developmental milestones she is crossing beautifully, I am still apprehensive about her going to the \";big\"; school, I visited the PS in my area and it seems so HUGE for this tiny little thing. I find myself thinking how she will cope, how her peers will treat her, she is quite shy , takes time to open up. etc and then I think we need to be able to trust that our kids will pave their own future and have faith that they will do well. Of course we need to encourage them every step of the way. My daughter and I have a conversation about school every evening: I ask her how was her day, what did she do, she takes this very seriously, I think it makes her feel \";big\";. She tells me at bedtime no more talking because she has a lot of work at school the next day!!, despite being a working parent, I try to keep up with her homeworks, I got her some great educational CD's and we have a lot of fun on the computer together. It's a wonderful time of learning for them . enjoy this time with your kid and don't stress about it.
