It's all so overwhelming so give it some time, see how it goes.<BR/>I am starting to think that this protective instinct we have with our kids will never go away. I wish I could protect my girls from everything but they have to experience things the way we did no matter how heartbreaking. Actually my mom kind of laughs at me at how emotional I am over everything related to the girls. They sure pull my heart in so many different directions.

School is a big change, and it just takes some kids awhile to hit their stride. My dad says that he got the strap every day in Grade One (he probably deserved it), let's just be glad we've got better courses of action available now....Badness Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05660823596302637985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9210448510622614826.post-32388678236511068092008-09-17T09:49:00.000-04:002008-09-17T09:49:00.000-04:00Awww...I want to give YOU a big hug!I watched my n...Awww...I want to give YOU a big hug!<BR/><BR/>I watched my neighbour just about have a breakdown when her first child started kindergarten. The first 2 months were HELL. He had a bad day EVERYDAY. But then things changed. There was no magic; just time.<BR/><BR/>Then everything was fine and he LOVED school. He was sad when it was summer and couldn't wait to go back this year.citygirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01337184917158798153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9210448510622614826.post-17602114042043079432008-09-17T09:43:00.000-04:002008-09-17T09:43:00.000-04:00Were there activities that he enjoyed during the d...Were there activities that he enjoyed during the day? Did he meet any kids he liked? I think everyone has a hard first few weeks of school and just express it in different ways. Try to focus on the positives!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9210448510622614826.post-73459572503684888502008-09-16T18:48:00.000-04:002008-09-16T18:48:00.000-04:00It's just the first day.

Those days are long and more than likely very overwhelming for him!<BR/><BR/>This may take time, but with the help of his teacher (and anyone else you bring in), you will figure this out for him. Try to be patient! It's not something that can be "fixed" over night. You have already done so much for him! He is very lucky to have you for a Mom!<BR/><BR/>Remember: One day at at time!<BR/><BR/>Be there for him, like you have been. Give him lots of lovin' and he'll be getting what he needs from you right now.Multi-tasking Mommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02379488091050026867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9210448510622614826.post-74878766181098618232008-09-16T17:01:00.000-04:002008-09-16T17:01:00.000-04:00Couldn't blurf by without commenting.

You will all get through this - it's the journey, not the destination. Hugs my friend - give him time to settle in - big changes.Kerry Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13359754478422055895noreply@blogger.com
