Parenting: The Challenge

If your child is getting to the age where he will be going to preschool in the fall, you may have some anxiety around it all. It can be hard on you and them, especially if you have been home with them their first few years. Preschool is a great learning experience for the both of you that would be a shame to miss. When it gets closer to them attending in the fall, talk to your child about it letting him know what’s in store for him when going to preschool. Let him know that he will meet many other kids and learn a lot of new things. You may find it difficult to leave him there on his first day, that’s ok. Just remember that he will be taken care of and that he will be getting a lot of being there. Take advantage of the fact that he will be there and take that time for yourself while he is there. Preschool is a great start in life for your  child to build social and academic skills, it’s a good thing for the both of you.
