Tomorrow is the day..I am a little sad

Awww mom, it will be ok. I remember those days several years ago, it was so hard for me to let mine go. Yet here we are years later (she is 10) and no we are on another leg of this journey. She is becoming her own person and I miss those days when she was just mommy's little girl. There's probably a lot that you can do in the time that he's gone, so make the best of it knowing he is in good hands and getting a chance to explore a broader perspective of life which is so vital to his growth and developement.

From a young age my disabled son spent time away from me. He was born at home and then he went off in an ambulance to the special care baby unit. It is amazing to get him back home after an operation on his back and an insertion of a shunt into his head. At six months old he went for two sessions of three hours to a playgroup for disabled children and ones with additional needs. At three years old he continued that amount of sessions at the special needs playgroup. Then he went three times a week for three hours a session to a playgroup for mainstream children. It was perfect because one gave him time with other disabled kids and the other showed him normal kids. In fact being with normal kids got him talking so I say it was wonderful. Now he is at primary school I miss him and getting vacation time is difficult. I think the pre-school will be great fun for your son. He is getting cold feet but once term actually starts I am sure he will love it there.

Oh yes, I have gone through this with my oldest daughter, and now I am going through this with my youngest one. It does not get any easier the second time around, and I am guessing that if I have another one it still will not get any better. On the one hand, I know that they need to grow up, and I love to watch them while they are learning, exploring, and trying new things. They get so excited about little accomplishments, and that is such a beautiful thing. They remind us what life is all about - the simple joys and beauty that we can find every day if we only look for it. As they grow, I like seeing how their personality and opinions develop, even when I do not agree with them, and they make me so proud when they choose to do the right thing on their own just because it is the right thing to do. On the other hand, though, I just want to keep them little and with me forever, because I know that I will miss them when they are grown up and gone from the house.

dont be worried.it's a natural process that every child grows up soooner or later.they will and should leave his parents to creat a world of his own.the home is the only place for him to stay when he is young.but what matters is that when the child is young ,parents should teach him some qualities of being a good human.

It can be hard to let go, but it will also give you a break, sometimes mothers need a break from being a mother, also your child will be able to play with kids his own age which he will enjoy. Try to look at the positive of the situation. You'll both get something good out of it.

i am not yet a parent either but i can tell you it is probably one of the happiest moments in life so you feel happy and sad all at the same time just remember its preschool he still has a lot more of schooling to do just think of it as a brighter future for him and help him become a smart intelligent kid he will thank you in the end(:

I am not yet a parent so I can't truly sympathize, but my friend has a child around the same age as yours and she was sad to see her go to pre-school, but now she' almost ready for her to to go to elementary school! She'll be starting next year. Now my sister has a five year old, my niece, and she didn't go to preschool just straight out school and loved it.

I'm starting to wish time would slow down a little. Not because I don't want them in school though. I actually get very excited for them to go to school. They all love school, and their progress through school has typically been exciting, until it gets to the point where my oldest is at. He's in his first year in high school, and that was tough for me to think I have a high schooler!

ersmommy1 ..The first time I took my younger daughter to preschool I sat outside the building for 15 minutes and told the teacher is she cries come get me.. It may be a little sad but it's the best thing for them I hear. There have been studies which show children who attended preschool are better off..

Yes I have been in this moment. But in different situation. It is hard and sad, that just want to make the time slow like snail for it to come very long.
