My DD is in her 4th week of reception. she's ok about it (sometimes really excited, sometimes wanting to stay at home and have a rest),the school is a really good one which I have no problems with...
However, I have always theoretically considered HE as an option for us and now the reality of DD1 being at school full time has sunk, in my thoughts are crystallising - I miss her;
I can see she's struggling with full time school;
in my opinion she doesn't get enough 'down time' to play with her sisters or chill out (and not even getting homework!);
I'm not at all comfortable with not knowing exactly what she's being taught each day, what her experiences are and how she's really coping (her teacher is lovely and very experienced but she has 29 others in the class and is head of year);
it comes across as if she is 'just one of 30 kids', quiet, intelligent and probably overlooked
Is it selfish to want to be more a part of her life? to want her to be celebrated and appreciated as the unique person she is? Is it me just struggling with the seperation from her and I should get a grip???!!
Any thoughts, comments, experiences, opinions appreciated, thanks
