My son starts reception this September (he's currently an only child) and I have no idea how to handle this whole "school thing".
I hated school due to decades of bullying and I really don't want my own hatred of structured education (or more accurately, the people I went to school with) to pass on to him. I'm also a "fixer" so whenever I'm anxious I need to do things rather than sit around and explore my feelings. Obviously, given my own history, I'm a bit anxious about my precious baby boy going to big school, even if he doesn't seem especially fussed right now.
What do I need to do to prepare for this momentous milestone? How many school shirts do I need to buy? Do I need to get stationary? What can I put in pack lunches?
Give me your best advice. Nothing is too basic because I'm absolutely lost right now.
