Made it through first week of school

3w ago·1 min read

Both kids are in school now and I just survived drop off week without a meltdown from either of them. My 5 year old was nervous about kindergarten but when I picked him up he told me he made a new friend named Marcus and they played dinosaurs at recess. His teacher said he had a great day. My older one is in second grade and already talking about how much he likes his teacher. Could not be prouder right now.

Nice work! Getting through that week without a total breakdown from the kids or yourself is a solid win. How are they feeling about going back?

First week victories are the best victories. Both kids adjusted without meltdowns? That's solid parenting right there. Enjoy the momentum.

Nice work man. Those first few weeks are rough. My two are a bit older now but I remember how anxious that transition was. Sounds like you handled it great.

That's huge! My 5 year old was the same way last year. Getting through that first week without tears from either kid is a total win. You deserve a break this weekend.

First week of school is always a test. Sounds like you crushed it though. Both kids handling it well is huge, that's not a given by any means.

That's actually a big deal. Drop off week is stressful for parents and kids both. The fact that nobody had a meltdown means you're handling the transition really well.
