I mean it makes sense it'll take some time, it's just stressful!! And the other kids aren't yelling... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tough-preschool-transition#post-2261255 Tue, 11 Aug 2015 19:39:15 +0000 brady80 2261255@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm sorry! When my daughter started daycare last year it was a good two weeks until she was in the groove. She had never napped with other kids before...on the floor mats no less! I think she maybe slept 20 minutes each day, and she does 2-3 at home! I think it's a great sign that drop off is going well, she wailed when we left. He's newly potty trained and I'm not surprised he's having accidents at school, there's so much stimulation for them. It will get better! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tough-preschool-transition#post-2261239 Tue, 11 Aug 2015 19:10:37 +0000 Mrs Green Grass 2261239@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I could use a little support from moms who have been there.</p> <p>So we just finished Day 3 of preschool (all day tues/thurs, must be potty trained) and I feel like I'm the parent with the problem child! Day 1 went pretty well. On Day 2 the director asked me whether my daily 2-3 he napper ever naps!? She said he was being really loud and jumping up and down saying he was all done and basically disrupting all the other nappers. :/ Today was the same so we reviewed our home routine which they will try (They have basically no transition between lunch and nap which I think D really needs.)</p> <p>And also today there were two bags with his name on it waiting outside the door :(. He went through 3 sets of clothes today... He's doing fairly well at home...</p> <p>I just feel like the mom of the problem child (even though I know he's behaving like a normal toddler).</p> <p>He is completely unphased though. No problem saying bye to me, no tears at all ever. </p>
