[quote=Anonymous]She might be sad that Preschool is over and anxious about starting kindergarten. It is a big change. Is she scared that she won't know anyone? Is she worried that she won't make friends? Is their a friend that she wants to have a play date with? Ask her how she is feeling and probe a bit to see how she is doing. I know DS was worried about the change, it was a bit easier because he knew a few boys who were going to be in kindergarten with him but he was still nervous. And this year, at the end of first grade, he told me he was sad because he was going to miss some of his friends. And what if they move? Last year a few kids moved during the summer so he was worried that was going to happen again. We discussed why people move and how it is normal and that it is ok to be sad if someone moves. There is a lot going on in a kids head and they don't know how to process those emotions. Heck, they are challenging emotions for an adult never mind a 5 year old. [/quote]
