It's really hard to let go of that control, especially when you want to use it to protect your children from things you went through. We often forget all the good things that happened to us though. All the ways we grew when our parents weren't around. We're always worried about what could be bad, but there are so many good things that happen too. I hope you get all the wonderful benefits and very minimal negatives.
Sending our babies to preschool (and kindergarten for my son this year!) is full of so many unknowns. They may struggle, they may cry, they may sometimes not want to go. And yet, we can support them through those struggles as best we can with comfort, building new skills, and trusting that they can do it. And building connection with the people who care for them.
What a gift for both of you to have some space and new experiences (even if it doesn’t feel that way yet!)
Thank you! We met her teacher and teacher's aid today and she had a really great time! She loves the playground, and I think she'll be really excited once the other kids are there, because she loves making friends.

😭 thank you for that.
