Nervous regarding pre school
Show your support
Unfortunately this is what happens when you dont put your children into childcare or get used to having time apart. She will be absolutely fine, but it would have been an easier transition if you’d have put her in childcare at least once a week. I’m a stay at home but my children go to a childminders twice a week purely for their development and social skills. I also didn’t want them to be anxious about leaving me / being away from me
I felt anxious both times. My eldest was speech delayed, so that worried me when she was starting nursery. With my youngest, it's more that she's still little, and I dunno, for me, it was somewhat better experience with her starting pre school but anxiety is there (tho I do have anxiety anyway). Anyway, my youngest has been in pre-school since October and has settled in so well and is loving it so much. I'm a SAHM (trying to get into work), so both times, I've been the main person at home with the kids. But both managed to settle in, even eldest (nearly 9 years old now) settled amazing at school, and I was anxious about that. Its good to chat with your little ones teacher/keyworker about how you are feeling so they can offer the right support and reassurance that your girl is in a safe place. You will be okay, honestly, seeing how confident and happy they are just manages to ease that feeling of anxiousness and everything else, but oh, you will be so proud.
I know it’s not the same but my 3 year old was always looked after by my MIL 5 days a week. Now it’s reduced because I have a second child so they were in nursery. I was so nervous about them both going but both absolutely love it. I’m sure your daughter will have an amazing time. 😄 Now I know what my oldest is like at nursery I’m excited for them for starting pre school in September.
