Dealing with Your Baby Going off to School
Here are some tips for dealing with sending your 'baby' off to school!
- Attend an observation at your daycare/preschool/kindergarten class can help ease the first day stress for both you and your child
- Meet the teacher and ask any questions you might have
- Talk to your child about, are they nervous because you're nervous?
- Volunteer in your child's classroom, teachers at this early level always appriciate an extra hand
- Join a book club or other hobby group if you'll be home during the day, this will take your mind off your little one being away from you
- Take this opportunity to take some continuing education classes yourself
- Remember summer and carefree days will be back again soon enough to spend even more time with your child
- Take advantage of extra time to get errands done quickly and child free (wow do they get done faster!)
- Some moms pick a part time job for a few hours a day to pass the time and make some extra money
- Most of all enjoy some quiet me time if all your children are off to school now and the house is quiet! Be brave and take a bath with the door open and be free of disturbances.
