DD starts school tomorrow. Dreading it..

[DJAngel]

We finally got word that a 1-1 worker has been allocated to dd, from the SN school who will be in her class and will accompany her as her 1-1 when she has days at MS school -(split placement).. DD starts at the SN school tomorrow and hasn't met her yet.

We're in for the morning and then early afternoon dd's teacher and T.A will come for half hour home visit we requested.

I want to stay with her all morning and beyond really. Actually until I feel she is settled enough to cope.

We had a long induction at nursery which worked well and she was happy and secure there but I think only because it was a gradual process. The MS setting seem ok with me being around more but the SN school less so.

I know they already think I'm being neurotic but I don't really care. I just want this to work for dd and if she gets really upset then she won't want to go again and then it will feel impossible for me to send her.

She's pretty anxious and clingy having been off for a very long time as her nursery closed early due to reburbishments. Currently I can't even go the loo on my own at times coz she's wailing for me..

I'm so anxious about tomorrow. I know I'm going to find it so hard and I want to be strong for her and to seem positive about school when really I'm in pieces about it.

As hard as she is to look after, and you'll all know how hard.. I will miss her so much..:(

Crossing my fingers for your dd

My ds starts m/s tomorrow (with 1to1). I think he will be ok with the new place if they let him play with the toys all morning. not sure if i'll be able to persuade him to wear his new schools shoes though - for some unknown reason he has taken against them.

Good luck for tomorrow know how hard it is ds started yesterday at his unit ,when he cried whilst putting his chair on the bus wanted to cry to

But he did have a good day at the unit ,and enjoyed it but when checked on him last night ge just seems so tiny

I'm around if handholding needed

my ds starts school today too at a sn school, im so nervous and hope hes going to be ok, its so scary isnt it!! my ds is a baby in so many way i just look at him and think hes my baby hes still in nappies and struggles with some of the easiest toys but hes going to school!!

hope youre little on djangel is ok today ill probably be on here a lot too so we can be stressed together!! can i share some of the handholding!?

Yep misstired handholding for all ds3 goes for his second day today
They just seem so young to be going ,ds is up eating breakfast and so far when mention school bus he is ok
Is ds going in transport or are you taking him?

in the long term he getting the transport but we are taking him this week so he gets used to routine bit by bit, then next week hes getting bus home but were taking him there, then week after he will get bus both ways!! hes 4.10 so only little, well little in my eyes anyway!!

im now panicking ive forgotton something in his bag i have nappies, wipes, inhaler and permission letter for inhaler, his cushion to help him sit (they asked for this until they get one), his ear defenders, his lunchbox, his coat. have i missed anything?!?!?

Thanks for all replies and good luck too for your little one MissTired.. Can't think of anything else to take!

I'll be back later to check in. You're right they seem too little.. dd totally oblivious to it all right now.. bad night though which is a shame coz she'll be very tired.. Hey ho..

Hope the school days have gone ok .Miss tired think thats teh thing strugled with most the fact i can take ds3 as have to take dd and ds school so far .But he went of in taxi ok this morning

Ah lovely photos MissTired.. Hope your ds had a good time!

Roundthebend I do feel for you having to use transport coz of your other dc. We often need to have several clones to keep everyone happy don't we.. If only! Good that he went off ok though. Hope he had a good day..

Well we survived the morning.. I stayed with her all the time although she went off and played happily with other adults quite a bit. Was very emotional for me though as she got upset a few times and she kept checking I was still there. There was some stuff I wasn't that happy with that seem part of the culture but I'll have to get used to that. May post about that separately another time when got more time..

Tomorrow is first day at MS school with the 1-1 she met for the first time today. So have to do it all over again tomorrow, although there will be familiar kids and mums from her nursery there and I'll stick around again. Both schools will think I'm neurotic but never mind..

Sorry for long post.. Bit emotional now.. She'll be awake soon, so then we'll watch some cbeebies with some chocolate cake!

hey djangel glad your dd had a good time, my ds did too though is having numerous meltdowns now so obviously it was very stressfull for him!

roundthebend - how was your little one today?
