Bless their pointed little heads, men have this thing – they always want to “fix” things. She doesn’t want you to fix thngs – she wants you to LISTEN. Listen, hug her, tell her it’s going to be ok, and listen some MORE. Don’t try to fix her, because she isn’t broken – she’s just a woman and a mom, and it’s just the way we are.

Aw! That’s a once in a lifetime mother-child thing. Tell her to relax, it was bound to happen. She does want the child to grow up with a good education, right? Not to mention develope social skills as well. In order to become a person, one must go through a series of skills to develope. Believe it or not, Kindergarten contributes to a lot. The child will be perfectly fine! Kids get sick all the time…its apart of being a kid. If it will make her feel better, have your son carry a small bottle of hand sanitizer. She should be very proud of her young man! Always remind her of that.

She should visit the school & meet the teacher before scholl starts. She can let the teacher know things about your son, it will make her feel better, and give the teacher some good info. Plus she’ll be establishing that bond between the two of them.

It might not be right, but research shows that when the parents are in good with the teachers, the kids get treated better.

Also, be patient with her, in fact indulge her fears a little. Keep encouraging her that it’s going to be okay…and trust me it will be.

Well, when I was in kindergarten, I had a ton of fun because we didn’t really do any work. You just play a lot with other kids and maybe learn how to write and draw a little better. Kindergarteners don’t beat kids up and older kids don’t either. That happens more in junior high/high school. All kids get germs from school so there’s nothing you can do about that. But I know so many parents who got emotional about their kids starting school. It’s normal. If he gets hurt, he should just go to the school nurse or tell his teacher. He’ll be just fine.

Just hug her and tell her that you understand but that you have faith that everything will turn out fine.

This is her baby. When he’s 18 and graduating highschool, he’ll STILL be her baby. Until she’s in her grave, that boy will be her baby. She’ll get better at such ‘firsts’. But she’s a Mom and is no different that millions of others. Perhaps she’s voicing it more. But it’ll be ok. For you, her and your son.

One thing you might mention in a non-judgemental way is that the boy might read her tension and that might make him more nervous about starting school. That is the primary reason you would have for asking her to calm herself about this.

My only child (a son) is starting Kindergarten on Monday. I am happy for him and I will be upbeat about it in front of him. But you can bet that I’ll be attending the Mom’s “Boo Hoo Breakfast”.

till you have some sturdy reason to have faith your son desires to be held back, start up him this year. If preschool instructors have suggested that he would not look to have the talents or adulthood (emotional, behavioral, social, or academic) for kindergarten yet, then you definately would desire to evaluate keeping him back (i could bypass consult from the college first, nevertheless, to work out what they propose and why). yet do no longer in trouble-free terms carry him back using fact he’s a boy. My daughter turns 5 in August, decrease than 2 weeks beforehand our college’s cutoff. She does look a lot youthful than the babies who became 5 final fall … and he or she’s additionally quite small for her age, so she heavily sounds like she’s too youthful for kindergarten. yet she will persist with instructions, take turns, verify conflicts, make pals, write her call, examine trouble-free words, perceive letters and numbers, and so on. i’m optimistic she’s waiting for kindergarten. So i bypass to deliver her. somebody must be the youngest … If I held her back it may be the youngster with the birthday beforehand hers. and that i will declare my different teenagers have had issues no longer being challenged adequate in college … and keeping a baby back a year unncessarily could for sure make that issue even worse. edit — i do no longer understand in case you recognize this comparable question published 5 cases … that’s constructive to to delete the different ones….

HEY! i take offense to that…i went to kindergarten and i turned out just fine lol (freshman now) but really…women get like that *sigh*

anyways you should have her remember her days in kindergarten and ask if she’s ever been in any real danger

also, if your wife is really concerned, she can sign up to be a room mom or whatever and occassionally visit the class to see how your son is doing…then she will realize that letting him go to kindergarten is the best thing she’s done

he’ll learn so much

ALL mothers will at least feel the way your wife does when your son goes to kindergarten. It’s like, you raised this child since he was born and now you aren’t there to watch him in school or be there when he needs you.

For my mother, it was an attatchment issue. Just tell your wife that everything will be ok, he’s a smart little boy and if he needed mommy he will get ahold of her.

No-one said that raising children is easy. Your wife’s feelings suggest a lot of empathy with your son. But, she knows as well as you that life moves on. This change probably affects the two of them far more than it affects you. The best way you can help is to show that you understand and empathise with both of them. Perhaps a celebration or treat is called for?

take her to meet the teacher and see the suroundings, and lol if they dont have anti bacteria cleaning stuff buy some and have ur son take it to the teacher as like a first day of school present or something. have her know that children growing up comees with the deal of haveing one.
