Having a rough morning this morning..

Man this morning sucked..Sophia was doing so well last week went 4 days with no tears at school, then Friday hit and we had tears, yesterday tears at drop off and then today full on crying before she even left. I don't know what else to do for her! This is her 4th week at school, she says she loves it, we talk about her day, stress the positives. I know this is a big change for her..it's just so hard to feel so helpless.

Awww, poor thing. I remember that sick feeling when I had to leave my mom, even though I loved school, too. It'll get better, Eve, just can't promise soon. Just try to remember that once she's there, she's having a great time; it's just that separation is hard.

Aww sorry Eve! I know it is so tough for both you and your little one! Like Kellie, said it will get better! ((hugs))

Awww, poor thing! I hope it gets better soon!

Awwww, poor Sophia and poor you! Unfortunatley, i have to go through the same thing in 2 weeks when Brooke starts school........ it sucks to see them all upset, but they will get used to it..... (so my mum says lol)
Hope it gets easier for you both soon

Thanks ladies! :wub:

just remember that they are usually only upset for a few minutes and then it's totally forgotten

I'm sorry sweetie...I have no advice. I think how you're handling it is the best way. ((hugs))

It is very hard. Benjamin's first day of kindy, he didn't even want me to take him inside, he wanted to be such a big boy, and have me drop him at the door. Well my heart broke, but I did it. The next four days after that, we had huge crying spurts. We started school on the Tuesday, I remember on the Thursday was the worst day, we actually had the hanging on the door frame thing...where he literally hung on and would not let go.

I knew he enjoyed school, it was just leaving mama that was hard. I would imagine she just feels sad leaving you, I know for Benjamin that was the case. He just wanted to be home with ME, it was such a big change. I reassured him that we weren't doing anything fun while he was gone (LOL), and that it was nice to meet new friends, etc. It did get better, but I'm sure it varies from kid to kid.

I'm sorry, I know it's just as hard on you as it is on her. My heart was sick sending him to school like that, the mama in me just wanted to grab him and take him on back home with me. ((hugs)) and hang in there, it will get better.

(((Eve))) It'll get better. My 4yr old cried a bit the first few days of prek but she's been back over a month now and it's eased up. My girl is pretty shy so it took her a few weeks to really make some friends and have people to play with and interact with socially that are her age. Once that clicked for her, the tears in the am stopped. Good luck!!

{{Hugs}} it will get easier I promise.

When my daughter first started school there was lots of tears and now that she is in third grade she didn't even want me to walk her to her class this year.

Awww, that stinks Eve!! I'm sure it will get better, but man I bet it sucks until it does Hugs for the both of you!

Aww, hugs!!! In our situation, it's the other way around. I know he's having fun but dropping him off gets me teary eyed every day. I know it will get better for all of us soon!

I've got that going on here with DS2. He did fine last week, but this week he whines, cries & pitches a fit about not wanting to go. I did finally get out of him that his specific problem is that it takes too long to get home. I can't solve this problem

Awww, I'm so sorry! I know that must be hard for you.

Awww, Eve, I know how hard that is when your kid is unhappy. But, if she is happy at school, you shouldn't worry about the transition too much. Have you talked to the teacher about how long she stays upset after you drop her off?
