Her playground anxiety has taken over. We've tried going there when it's empty and doing role play about it. To her, it is too loud, too busy, too much. Her teachers came up with letting her carry out sidewalk chalk as something consistent that can just be hers and can be something that stays the same with all of the other changing variables. We haven't figured it out yet, but that is helping. I am right there with you.teaworthyhttp://teaworthy.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36461596.post-60889820818499298612009-09-10T18:37:23.116-05:002009-09-10T18:37:23.116-05:00xoxoDiane Grenkowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03407665621621926802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36461596.post-73250419811485994972009-09-10T17:39:05.297-05:002009-09-10T17:39:05.297-05:00so sorry momma, not easy. makes me remember those ...so sorry momma, not easy. makes me remember those times, with a tear in my eye x.xanthehttp://www.flickr.com/photos/xantheberkeley/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36461596.post-58705920907351676512009-09-10T13:54:45.899-05:002009-09-10T13:54:45.899-05:00What to say, except that I feel for you and that p...What to say, except that I feel for you and that precious boy?

It will cha...Oh, K... take it slow and easy on you. It will change, this will pass.<br />It's always hard to embrace changes. But you are so lucky that he got to TELL YOU what was bothering him. The crowdiness of the playground. So you have a hint to what to work on with him. How to approach that subject (and many others that might come). You can talk about that, play and practice moves in other places together when it's crowdy, so he feels confident and comfortable later when he is at school.<br />It's strange though that they start all day long all of the sudden. Zoe goes to kinder for seven hours a day also. But they started with one or two hours, then three or four, then adding lunch, and finally, two weeks later they were doing the full schedule.<br />Anyway, that "fake" face is awfull, but you know what? (I am no one to give advice, it's just that I've been there four months ago...) I came to have that face for real by making a detailed work of thinking possitive about school time. Not "fighting" the negative feelings with forced possitive ones, but rather thinking with a smile what wonderful things I could do if I was to be in kinder again, and imagining myself running freely after the other kids, and opening my eyes big infront of something new the teacher proposed me.<br />Soooo...... I guess what I am trying to say is that if you believe strongly that this is the best (or even the only thing you could do right now), he will be just fine because YOU will be just fine, for real. And encouraging words will come easy out of your mouth and with a real smile.<br />And if you can't, remember it will pass, and also that we are here, to hug you so so strong!Julie Alvarezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03186797770940729751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36461596.post-3943203022084760692009-09-10T09:14:00.216-05:002009-09-10T09:14:00.216-05:00Hug!
