I'm sure many of you are experiencing mixed emotions today as you find out your school placements. I'm right there with you, having just finalized Willow's decision to start school this year. As her birthday falls at the end of January, I had the option to delay her start date in Scotland, but after much contemplation, we've chosen to send her to school with her closest friends. Despite the nursery's reassurances that she's ready, I've been grappling with this decision for months. Now that it's made, you'd think I'd feel more at ease, but I'm still fretting about whether it's the right choice and how being the youngest in her year will impact her. My experience with Winter, who started school at a slightly older age, was much smoother. Why do we parents worry so much, even after making a decision? Is it just me and my ADHD overthinking everything 🤪
On a more positive note though I do have lots of lovely first day boards for when she does start 😂
