Well I have heard many people who would write about my first day in school etc well for me its different I just want to write about my daughters experience.
Well it started with her enthu long long before she would see children going to school and that was her aim and that too only in school bus !!!. And then started the process of evaluating certain schools ......... we knew she needed a place to vent her energy .. The selection was made it was St Peters School. The first criteria for selection was it was near. And I didnt want my Baby to travel in school bus ... all my life I had gone to school in Car with mummy ... In this changing scenario I could not comprehend how it could be otherwise ..... well yes she is still a baby for me.
He school would start on Jun 12th. Early june there was a statement from her which made me feel she is desperate to go to school.
Her friend Dhanu went to a new Playshcool which was just opened downstairs . She was playing with her Nanny and insisted she wanted to go to that school. The only genuine excuse which her Nanny gave was that we havent paid fees. Anyway that after she asked me if I could give the school lots of money so that Anjali could go to that school. Anyway that just made me say God when will her school start !!!!!
So finally June 12th came . She is very very excited calling us from the house door to hurry up and come fast . And she reaches school accompanied by Mummy and Achan goes inside the class in full enthu and she was very disappointed to see lots of children crying and that just brought her enthu down . Well I wanted to complain to the Teachers my kid was all enthu and your school has spoiled her enthu. But then they told us about the seperation anxiety and it is better she goes through it ASAP and realises she is safe even in school and not just as mummys baby .
Well my baby I didnt want to see her crying and I had decided Ok leave school when she is bigger I will send her. When I went to the park to play with her I discussed with all mothers and everybody had the same thing to say from different schools and playschools. So was I acting paranoid and overpossessive.
Well Sunil also was telling I was overreacting the first days and 2nd day even he was concerned ...
She got up at night the 2nd day and said she will not go to school. Sunil was so touched and concerned ... He agreed to me and we were going to teach principles of negotiating with children to the teachers the next day. Does that sound like a IT couple .
Anyway I loved my Boss statement the best. That relaxed me a lot ... They should cry thats the relation between you and her ...
The 3rd day was also Ok in the sense she didnt want to go inside leaving me . But once inside then it was just ok ....
Well today is her 4th day and I am relaxed and writing because she didnt want to actually leave the school and I literally had to pull her out . She went in crying today but I dont know what a changeover , she was so engaged in playing with other children and she even started her fights today. She was full of some colours over her hands and face and her school uniform was really dirty for the first time. So I am so happy very happy
I think everybody has to face this changeover so dont take it to your heart. Anjali will like this school and she has just started her journey ... its a long way to go but she will always be my Baby :-)
