Starting School

September 1, 2018 4:04pm CST
My daughter will be starting kindergarten this month, and I'm excited and happy for her because she really wants to go to school. I am also a little nervous, and sad because I will miss her during the day. Does anyone else have kids who are starting school?

I sure hope she enjoys kindergarten. I remember how excited my sons were when they got to go to school. Soon my youngest granddaughter will be starting school. You will do fine Mom.

I just commented on your post on one of my discussions, asking how old your daughter is! Well, now I know! haha I wish you the best of luck as your daughter enters kindergarten! It's probably more nerve-wrenching for parents than it is for the kids!

@scottishbarbie That's great to hear! Your daughter is at such a fun age! Are/were you a stay-at-home mom, or did you work?

Both my girls are grown up one is married and the other dating. Enjoy these years they go fast. It's nice that she's excited to go to school I hope she can keep that enthusiasm. Will she go for just partial days or the whole day long?

I hope she has a good school year. My kids are adults, with adult children. The only one in school right now is my great-granddaughter.

I can still remember my kids going to school for the first day. They had been going to kindergarten and couldn't wait to start school. They didn't cry but I did!

I'll probably cry a little bit, too! But I know she wants to go very badly, so i'm happy for her :)

No children of my own, but a few of the children I work with are starting kindergarten. They are ready, as they have definitely outgrown preschool !
