I'm not looking forward to it, but he knows the teacher there and they do awesome with transitioning them for the last two weeks. All of his friends will be going with him too, so it's essentially just moving across the hall. Hoping everything goes well! </p> <p>@irene: I know this is much easier said than done, but try to be a little more patient within the first few weeks of his transition. Change is hard for adults let alone children. I know it's difficult to deal with when you're used to him behaving a particular way, but he's also feeling pretty stressed out about his new atmosphere, and now he knows that mommy is mad at him all the time, which may cause him to act out more. Trust me...much easier said than done. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/school-begins-how-are-you-and-your-lo-doing#post-2614170 Wed, 31 Aug 2016 14:27:32 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2614170@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We still have a week and a half before school starts.<br /> I'm a bit sad because I've had all my girls home with me for a couple weeks and i we've had a good time. But also looking forward to some quieter afternoons with just the babies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/school-begins-how-are-you-and-your-lo-doing#post-2614164 Wed, 31 Aug 2016 14:24:06 +0000 irene 2614164@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: Haha! Man I posted my topic too early then.... Yes, everyone will find out in a few days / weeks....! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/school-begins-how-are-you-and-your-lo-doing#post-2613921 Wed, 31 Aug 2016 10:42:29 +0000 looch 2613921@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>First day today (orientation) and it's done, I am relieved. The real stress is going to be the next couple of weeks when the actual schedule gets established. Today was just 2 hours in the classroom and tomorrow is a ribbon cutting, so this week is just for show, lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/school-begins-how-are-you-and-your-lo-doing#post-2613887 Wed, 31 Aug 2016 10:20:35 +0000 irene 2613887@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamaof2: Haha! :heart: </p> <p>@mediagirl: I know... tell me about it :( For us it is like he regressed to Threeager which has been tamed for a while. Just overall not listening and tantrums and crying. and more crying. Ahhhh! I am getting back to that mode of anxiety and fear at pickup. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/school-begins-how-are-you-and-your-lo-doing#post-2613876 Wed, 31 Aug 2016 10:08:14 +0000 mediagirl 2613876@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My daughter always acts out when she has to deal with change. It's just who she is. She starts in her new class next week and is not looking forward to it at all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/school-begins-how-are-you-and-your-lo-doing#post-2613871 Wed, 31 Aug 2016 09:53:21 +0000 Mamaof2 2613871@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@irene: school started today! Will report back next week :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/school-begins-how-are-you-and-your-lo-doing#post-2613867 Wed, 31 Aug 2016 09:51:52 +0000 irene 2613867@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: Haha. thanks for not leaving me hanging! I guess all is fine and dandy with everyone else, which is great! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/school-begins-how-are-you-and-your-lo-doing#post-2613768 Wed, 31 Aug 2016 07:40:22 +0000 autumnlove 2613768@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Everything is good except for pick up and drop off. Major construction started on the first day of school and traffic/ parking has been rough. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/school-begins-how-are-you-and-your-lo-doing#post-2613652 Tue, 30 Aug 2016 20:20:04 +0000 irene 2613652@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>School started 2 weeks ago for us, and I am sure gradually to most of you if it hasn't happened yet. How are you and your LOs doing? If you are going to a new school, what do you like/love (or dislike) about your new school, and what you wish they could have done better?</p> <p>We changed from our beloved daycare to a brand new school (preschool - grade 8) for their pre-k program. I was so nervous before it started but two weeks in we really love it. DS got a cold and hopefully he will recover from it soon. He wasn't very happy the first day or two because he knows no one. Then he got a hang of it and is seemingly very happy. My problem is now, everyday I pick him up he'd be happy and said bye to everyone, but he'd be very mean to me. Today he basically cried on and off, and throwing back to back tantrums from 4:30pm to bedtime at 8pm. Argh! This is actually (unfortunately) consistent behavior - when he goes to a good and motivating new class, he tends to do that to me for weeks/months. I just hope I have enough EQ to deal with this every day. </p> <p>Other than that the curriculum is awesome. My issue is DS is reading but they are teaching regular pre-k curriculum: the reading of alphabets. That's a tad bit concerning as I don't want DS to get bored. And on top of that, traffic is quite miserable around the new school.... </p> <p>How about you? </p>
