Your first day sounds like my first day. Probably lots have similar. Hope it goes well for her as I am sure it will. It is a tough time for them. The Little Boom goes back to Pre-School next Wednesday and has professed many many times how he doesn't want to and he is sick of it now. I am like, fark, you have many more years of this twoddle to go!
I wonder if it has an effect on future performance.
I think Smallsteps will at least at first, like all the "tasks" to do. After a while, more like me... hate it.
Yeah, when they have a good sense of self and determination they do that. Think its great then go off it! Still, it really does help with their advancement. I really do like the model of school age going to in Finland and surrounding places. Here they try and force them in at 5 bit often 4 years old to School. Fortunately in Scotland we are a bit more progressive and have the option of delaying that but you still have to jump through hoops for it
It is better here to go later. Australia it is 5 also I think still. Though, most use the daycare system too, which is heavily subsidised so people can keep working. It helps them get used to being away from the parents though.
It has its advantages in getting them used to that I suppose as it is a bit of a wrench when they start going. Both of ours were fine until about two weeks in when it finally dawned on them that this was it There was no going back!
It is like getting that first paycheck - and then the second and then realizing... all that work for this?
Yup, that's exactly how it goes!
Back in the good old days he'd be toiling away in the salt mines...It's not to late to pack him off you know. 😊
Hehe, it's damn true. My grandad was a miner!! I assume threaten them with it 😜
It runs in the family then, the young lad will simply draw on ancestral skills and take to it like...like...a miner with a pick. 😉
Hahahaha! I will beat it out of him with a
pickstick!
