Really, there is no permanent damage being done here. Well, except maybe to you. <BR/><BR/>Both of my kids will be among the oldest in their class, and that can be hard too. I was, and I didn't socialize with my classmates, I really had friends a year ahead of me and when they went on to high school before me, my world was turned upside down.<BR/><BR/>I think all kids have a hard time adjusting to starting school. I'd bet a bunch of the other kids who are busy playing Bad Guys are also hating going to school every morning. They just aren't your kid, so you don't hear about it.<BR/><BR/>Give him some time, and get yourself a cocktail.followthatdoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02073521142861511678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28293267.post-10039384247055345972007-09-04T20:53:00.000-07:002007-09-04T20:53:00.000-07:00hi you...Good to see you blogging again! I am so ...hi you...<BR/>Good to see you blogging again! I am so sorry about your uncle. I experienced a loss this August too and it has been terrible. The start of the school year has been a good mental turning point for me as I look to the future and moving on!<BR/><BR/>Well, yeah, we're part of that whole "red shirting trend" too. Argh - I detest being part of a trend, especially one for privileged sorts! Sorry if peer pressure made your decision harder. I am sure you're doing the right thing for your little guy. In our case, I think that the social and interactive and group skills are just wayyyy too far off (when we asked our preschool teacher if little man was ready for kindergarten, she shook her head so hard I thought she would fall out of her chair). And I am a third generation "kicked out of kindergartener" (my grandma, who didn't speak english, my dad who was too smart, and myself, who apparently didn't like following rules on the monkey bars). Maybe I'll be able to break the chain!<BR/><BR/>Good luck with week 2. <BR/><BR/>love,<BR/>G.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28293267.post-90769452454816946982007-09-03T21:41:00.000-07:002007-09-03T21:41:00.000-07:00Oh man, I really hope things are going better.

I'm already stressing about this, and we have a year to go.<BR/><BR/>I wish they had MIT for little kids, where all the little brainy and nice kid could go and be loved and accepted and the president of the chess club would be prom king.Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09910747227134345866noreply@blogger.com
