Preschool anxiety
Jake is signed up to go to preschool next month. It will be the first time he will be away from home without us and I am a nervous wreck about it. Yes, I know it’s only 3 hours, for two days a week, but still, I just can’t help worrying about him. Mostly I am worried that his speech is so difficult to understand that he won;t make any friends and he will quickly become frustrated with preschool. He is a social little charmer, even when meeting people for the first time. So, maybe my fears are unfounded. Plus, I have had numerous discussions with the preschool director about his special needs. She has assured me that he will be fine. Either way, I am taking the day off his first day of preschool to deal with all the crying and separation anxiety (mostly from me, I’m sure).

I will never forget the day I dropped my firstborn off at preschool for the first time. It felt very unnatural to be driving away from the school — almost surreal. I remember calling my husband, in tears. “What time is it?” he said. “9am” I replied. “What time do you pick him up?” he countered. “eleven thirty,” I laughed.
All will be well. Not to worry.
Hang in there.
