I am a pre-school drop out. My mother did not have a chance. I made it through A is for apple day, B is for ball day but on C is for cake day my mother had had enough! (I do understand though, she was walking in snow, tempatures under 25 below, and pregnant at the time, with 2 other youngsters at home. She had no time to attend pre-school with me.)

He's 7 now and not nearly as shy as he used to be. Raising Your Spirited Child is a book that helped me understand him!!! It helped me see that in addition to shyness, he was also extremely sensitive to new situations. The book showed me ways to go at his pace. I've been practicing the techniques for years AND IT's HELPED. He can now walk in new situations and roll with the punches. It's such a relief! I have a shy child.

I move around with toddles in mass...whatever works. And...I think it's really cool that you're patient while she settles in, a lot of teachers around here recommend the dump and go, claiming the kids "get over it quickly" when you're gone. I never feel good about it. I hardly ever judge. I move around with toddles in mass…whatever works.

And whatever works, works. I'm an adult, and it's amazing what I'll do just for a couple of Oreos! I’m a firm believer in the occasional bribe. And whatever works, works.
