sakin naman, first day of school niya very excited sya.when we arrived at his school, ang dami pala nila hehe since day care center yun.good thing, hinati yung class nila by age.so medyo nabawasan ang number nila, bukod na ang 3 & 4 yrs of age.yun lang ginawa nila, then they went home na the next day na sila nagstart ulit.

his second day to about a week and a half, may crying times pa hehe.hindi kasi ako ang naghahatid sa kanya since working ako, kaya kwento lang sakin ng lola niya.nung una daw ipinapasyal sya ni teacher sa classroom para hindi umiyak hehe.pero after naman nun, lagi niya sinasabi sakin "mommy hindi na ako iyak, nagpapaiwan na ako".

micah, being the eldest, was 3 and a half years old when she started preschool.  being alone at home makes her excited to go to school.  so, on her first day, since she was trained to socialize early, she didn't even want us to get inside her classroom.  of course, we wanted to take pictures on her first day of school.
 
with iza, she doesn't want me or her dad to leave the classroom.  eventually, after meeting her classmates, she has gotten excited going to school.  i also keep track of her day to day activities and ask her how her day was, stressing on how exciting her day at school was.

I think the best thing to do sis is give her some 'tough love'. Since she's three na naman, before you go sa school, you can talk to her na and tell her na she's a big girl now, and that she has to stay with teacher and her classmates para mag-aral. And that mommy can't go with her sa loob dahil for kids and teacher lang ang classroom.

Tapos sis, help her get seated sa classroom, and give her the same talk, and then leave the classroom. Pag umiyak sis, ask for the teacher's help. Kasi the more that she can see you, the more na nandyan lang yung presence mo sa classroom, hindi talaga sya makakahiwalay sayo. Medyo kailan mo 'tiisin' talaga so she can learn to be independent. And you have to be very firm and consistent. If you leave her in the classroom on the first day, make sure na sa labas ka lang talaga palagi, don't go inside unless very very very necessary.

Three years old is bata pa naman, although you alone can gauge your child's readiness for school. In her case, you might want to put her in a toddler school na either progressive or montessori ang approach rather than yung traditional, kasi yung traditional is harder to adjust to for younger kids (like three-year-olds).

My daughter is turning three in May na and pinasok ko sya sa summer school that started this month. :) I think na-timingan ko din na she's ready na for this kind of new 'challenge' kasi hindi talaga sya umiyak or anything like that when I left her inside the classroom. Second day niya today and same pa din ginawa ko, I just led her to her seat, gave her firm instructions not to go out unless she needs to pee or popo, and then I leave her there na. I just check on her pag recess time. :) Feeling ko nga ako pa ata ang may separation anxiety. Hehe.

I am a single mom. Ngayon palang kinakabahan na ako in preparation for the schooling of my baby girl. Next school year pagaaralin ko na siya. Kapos ako financially, how do i prepare both of us emotionally. ang daming aspects na paghahandaan and ako lang ang aasahan niya. How do I go through it?

sis Denzel's Mommy, we're on the sme situation.

Share ko lang sa thread na ito, yung 2YO baby ko was diagnosed with Developmental Speech Delayed by her Dev Ped Dra. Tippy. Advised sa amin eh ipasok sa toddler class and napansin din talaga ni Dra. Tippy na spolied ang anak ko, sinabihan pa nga ako ng "Mommy sino ba ang Boss?" Spoiler kasi ako, so last Wednesday first day ng baby ko sa school niya, pinasok ko siya sa Schola Progressio na ang approach eh Progressive. Nagleave si Hubby para samahan kami, so nung first day payag uyng mga teachers na magstay kami sa room for about 20 minutes moving forward strict sila na bawal na talaga. Ayun sigaw ng sigaw ang anak ko MAMAMA, DADADADA! Sobrang sakit ng puso ko nun, gusto ko na siyang kunin at iuwi. Actually palapit na ako, nagsignal si Teacher na "No Mommy, we can handle this." So umatras ako at lumabas na ng room. Pinababa na kaming lahat ng parents, bantay and grannies. Second floor ang room nila and sobrang rinig talaga sa first floor/waiting area :( Pero tiniis namin mag asawa yun. As in katakot takot na RATIONALIZATION sa aming dalawa, "Kailangan ba ito, etc" Total of 50 minutes NON STOP CRYING ang anak ko, napatahan din naman :)

Yesterday second day naman ng baby ko, MWF kasi ang class nila. Papasok palang sasakyan namin sa gate ng school sabi niya "NO! NO!" Nung pinaakyat na kami, ayaw ng humiwalay sa akin, typical 2 YO, kinakagat yung shirt ko. Pero 10 minutes na alo-alo, humanap ako ng timing sabay labas ng room. Fortunately, 2 hours and 30 minutes akong nakabantay eh wala akong narinig na iyak. Tinanong ko teacher niya, hindi naman daw umiyak :) Sobrang saya ko talaga.

Advised din kasi ni Dra. Tippy kailangan siyang maging independent and hindi nga advisable yung sa Gymboree na kasama din ang parent sa loob.

My 4-yr old daughter started summer class last Monday. I knew that she wont let me leave her in her classroom together w/ her teacher & classmates on the 1st day, she's an only child & she grew up in an environment without kids to play with, but she's a very happy child, sweet & caring. Day 2 came & still she won't let me leave, same thing happened in Day 3. On Day 4, i sneaked out on her (which I truly regretted doing), the moment she realized I was gone she hurriedly went to the door.... crying & kept calling for me while banging the door. This really moved me to tears! After we're reunited she never paid attention to the activities, she just kept on looking at me as if she's afraid I might disappear again. She loves going to school, she looks forward to it every morning! She also behaves well inside but one thing i noticed, she's afraid of other kids. She's having a hard time blending in, one factor i guess is her size, her height is that of an average 8 yr old, maybe it makes her feel she's different from everyone else. It really takes a while for her to warm up. I've tried everything, promised her all her favorites if she lets me go outside, i made it a point to constantly tell her that i'll be there when the door opens but she still won't let me. I know that every child is unique & that comparing isn't healthy but I truly want her to build her confidence, i want her to believe in herself. Summer classes are short-lived & i want her to enjoy it as much as possible, so if anyone had the same experience please tell me how u dealt w/ it! Thank you for reading this & God bless us!

I am super excited talaga sa first school experience ng anak ko.
Nag-se-search pa ako sa youtube ng videos ng first school day at ng mga field demo.

Pinagtatawanan na nga ako ng asawa ko. :D

I am not perfect but I try my best to make the most of what God gave me.
Bad things may happen to me, but I will always come out of it with my head up high. Why? Because I know that I did the things I can control the right way. And the things I can't control, I leave it up to God's will.

^Naku naalala ko tuloy si Meg dati. First day naki sit in pa ko ha. Iyak ng iyak. Nung sumunod na araw, hindi ako sumama. Yung yaya lang niya dati. Ayun umok naman siya na paiwan sa loob ng classroom.

Hi Sis,

First day din ng class ng daughter ko today. She's fine naman though she got bored because late na nag start ang class so she threw tantrums din. I'm supporting her all the way by monitoring her and her yaya since I'm a working mom.

God bless our kids!

Congrats mga mommies na kasama ng kids nila sa first day of school  :D ;)
Ako unluckily wala sa first day of school ng son ko  :-[  im working overseas kasi... but i tried my best na maging part pa din ng first day of school niya.. i woke up 2 o'clock in the morning para makausap ko siya at makita while prepare siya for his first day of school. i talked to him and told him everything that i wanted to say lalo na bat wala si mommy na mghatid sa kanya, naintindihan naman niya, si tita niya na lang daw sama niya.pinapakita niya din sa kin yung mga gamit niya sa school..after school i called at nangamusta, yun ang sabi ng tita ayaw mgpaiwan sa loob ng classroom pero di naman daw umiyak..at ayaw ding mag COLOR!..sabi niya daw sa teacher sa bahay na siya mag cocolor,kaya sagot daw ni teacher "ok, Homework mo na lang yan" hehe.. at during breaktime nakaubos ng P50. :-\   bukas gigising uli ako ng 2AM...as much as possible gusto ko usap at makita ko siya before going to school. and after school sana kaso hirap ng timings :( ang hirap maging SKYPE MOMMY.
