In another 1.5 weeks .. we will be going thru’ some separation anxiety with the brat and I, yours truly. Yes, for those who are not aware of this .. my brat is a BIG gal now.. !! she is going to school… but not even 5 years old. She is going to real school.. not kindergarten or pre-school or nursery or day care. She will be in French Immersion .. and will be in Grade Primary. We sent her for the “ready, get set, go” program earlier this month..and she did wonderfully… but not without some separation from me and not her. Yes.. ! she was the brave one.
Advice from some blogging mummies that i picked up on .. was not to show that you were anxious nor worried.. and to let her go to school happily. So i put on a brave front.. and let her go happily to school. My mother in law had teased me about that.. before she left for school.. but we did pretty well. So if you have kids going to school this fall, this is my survival guide for just cross reference.
A few days before school start. .drive her to school.. . and tell her what is going to happen.. what time she will be waking up.. what time she will be going to school. .and so forth. Walk her thru’ the routine.. and of course tell her how much fun it is going to be.. and that you will be right outside waiting for her.. once school is over.. .and you will be there to pick her up.. ON TIME. More tomorrow.. eh.. 🙂
A happy trooper for sure!
