First day at school
Hi,
Today was my boys first day at their new school. One went in all excited and couldn't wait to meet his new class mates. The other was very nervous and was not looking forward to it at all. I left them in their teachers capable hands and spent all day worrying about them. Went to pick them up and they both came out of school with smiles on their faces saying "it was the best school ever" and they haven't stopped telling me all about their day. I'm so pleased.

Re: First day at school
I felt so sick when i took my kids to their new school, i was more nervous than them
Took them about a week to settle, so that was quite good i thought.

Re: First day at school
Truth to tell, we generally worry more about things than they do. Our little un was 4 years and 4 days when he started school - full time. I was worried sick that he wouldn't cope, but I can honestly say it has done him the power of good. Starting school in a new country - wow that must be really hard, but sounds like you've brought them up to take things in their stride. One of the girls in my daughter's class who is 8 years, still has to have her mum with her at parties and even then won't leave her side. It's bloody ridiculous and I think her mum is completely wrong for pandering to the situation. Well done all of you.

Re: First day at school
I'm so glad they settled in so well - and so quickly.
I used to teach in Asia and it was aways wonderful to see younger children settle into their new schools so easily. I think children are just looking to enjoy themselves and they don't mind who they are with when they do it!!
