I was amazed how calm DD was this morning ( she has a history of severe anxiety around school & other things). I think it helped that DH & I had been talking very calmly in the days leading up to her first day, reassuring her that we absolutely had her back. I actually felt really tired & ill today so I wonder if I had been working myself up without even realising it. Anyway, when I collected her she seemed ok. Complained that she hadn’t made any friends. This is never a problem for DD so I said that it was only the first day. It’s an emotional time but she was SO ready to go back!
