THOUGHTS FOR THE DAY
This week many toddlers will be going through one of the biggest day of their lives so, starting school.
It’s so scarry… out into the big wide world.
Little ones, you may be pretty emotional and scared but it’s a hundred times worse for your parents and grandparents (and maybe even for your teachers, they just do not know who or what they have got to deal with, so, please be kind to them!).
But as with almost everything in life books help. They won’t take it away but they’ll ease your mind, that’s little ones, parents and grandparents (and teachers), into it so you know what to expect, and even make you see the funnier side to it. Yes, like everything in life, although you can’t see it at the moment, there will be a funny side to it.
Let’s read about “Starting School” – Here’s a suggested list of books. Read one or two, or even all of them (and you may be able to find even more). I guarantee you’ll feel better, (or worse).
PS We went through it X2 last September and survived, so, so can you. It really wasn’t so bad in retospect.
