Ds is 3 (July birthday) and will be starting preschool nursery on Tuesday 3 hours each morning 5 days a week and I'm just worrying so much about it and keep getting really tearful when I think about him going.

He's not a great sharer and gets angry really easily and I just worry how he's going to cope without the adults who know him there to calm him down and would never want him to lash out at another child etc.
He's so bright and confident and loves other children and I feel like he is really ready for it but I feel so sad about him going and I know he's going to get upset the first few days which kills me.

I k ow every one send a their child to school and I'm probably being a drama queen but I'm worry about everything like do we have enough uniform, he's fully toilet trained but what if he has an accident, what if something really knocks his confidence.
I know it'll be fine but does everyone go through this because I feel like my anxiety is really working over time at the minute too.
I know I'm babbling on now sorry mn Blush

Starting school is often more traumatic for the parents than the children.
Don’t let him see you are anxious.
Remember they are used to DC of his age so they will be prepared for all eventualities.

I know I definitely try not to show it and he's so excited I just feel so sad about it! Blush

It’s an adjustment too, your baby is turning into a little boy and going off to school.
Mine are older now and you will have lots of these moments. I was practically hanging out of the window watching the first time DS1 went to the corner shop on his own.

He is now a 6ft rugby playing teenager and I still have moments...
