Thank you for starting this topic @safetyshield It is of interest to me too.
I have one daughter who will be three years next February.
She recently started to go to daycare. One day she kept saying “I didn’t want to go to daycare. I was embarrassed because I am laughed at by everyone”. After my husband and I heard this comment, we were very shocked because this is the first time she mentioned her anxiety about the school. I gently asked her why she thought that way and also I asked teachers why she started saying this, however; I couldn’t find out why she said that at that time. She doesn’t say anything like that any more. However, I learned that this is a new life challenge for every parent. How can we best support our children when they face struggles at the school? How can we know the signals that there’s something wrong? It is sometimes hard to understand and control my feelings as a parent.
