Cherylin attends Nursery Class!

The pictures below say it all. Cherylin attended her first day of nursery class on 2 Jan 09. We took leave and brought her to class. No cries, no clingy on to mummy. She even talked to her teacher without fear (she was playing with some toys and asked the teacher how to fix the blocks). She happily waved bye bye to us when we left the class. Well done! My brother thought she would cry on her first day of school. Thankfully it was a breeze for her to start school again, with new environment, new classmates (well, there are about 3-4 kids from her previous class, perhaps that helped to settle her more easily?) and new teacher.

It's been 1 week since she started school. Other than being grudgy on 1 morning (cos she didn't have enuf sleep) and throw a little tantrum at my mum's place, she was perfectly ok on rest of the mornings. Brush her teeth, change into her uniform, wear her shoes - all done without a fuss. She's happy everyday when she goes to school. Even told YC she likes to go to school. :)

Congrats! Well done, mummy & daddy, and 3 cheers for Cherylin!

Like I said, I think exposing kids to playgroup activities at a young age will improve their social skills, make them less shy and more independent when they reach the age where you need to send them off to school.

Agree. Cherylin did not attend any playgroup activities before she was 3 yrs old. Hence last year when she went to playgroup, she was very clingy to us. I stayed with her for the 1st day. After 1 year of exposure, she's less shy now. Yippee! :)
