Preschool Starts Tomorrow? You’ve Got This.⁠
✨ Tips + gentle encouragement for navigating the first weeks of this big milestone.⁠
⁠
Tip #1 — Talk About What to Expect⁠
Even if it's the night before, a simple rundown can help:⁠
🧸 “You’ll hang up your backpack, meet your teacher, and play with friends.”⁠
📚 Keep your tone upbeat and calm—kids take their cues from you!⁠
⁠
Tip #2 — Don’t Skip Goodbyes⁠
Even if it feels hard:⁠
👋 Say goodbye with confidence (even if you’re nervous inside).⁠
💗 A short, sweet routine helps them feel secure.⁠
(Example: Hug, kiss, “See you after snack time!”)⁠
⁠
Tip #3 — Expect Big Feelings (and Yours Too)⁠
Tears, clinginess, or outbursts are normal.⁠
🌀 This is new and big—processing takes time.⁠
🫶 Show compassion, keep the routine, and breathe. You’re both adjusting.⁠
⁠
Tip #4 — Celebrate the Wins⁠
🎉 “You put your shoes in your cubby!”⁠
🎨 “You told me you colored a rainbow!”⁠
Every small thing is worth cheering for. It builds confidence and connection.⁠
⁠
⁠
✨ This transition might stretch you both—but it’s also growing you.⁠
You are doing a beautiful job.⁠
It’s okay to cry in the car.⁠
And it’s okay to feel proud too.⁠
⁠
⁠
💬 What helped you through the first day of school? Or what’s on your heart tonight? Let's us know in the comments!⁠
You’re not alone in this—we’re cheering for you and your little one. 💛⁠
