[quote=Anonymous]I get it, and kudos for recognizing this is most likely a manifestation of depression and anxiety. The only thing I can say to reassure you is that kids are INCREDIBLY resilient and your son will be 100% ok (more than ok!). Your son will have a lot of the experiences he would have had in kindergarten as a first grader. Teachers know that the last 1.5 years were super disruptive to kids and are prepared to help ease them in. It's not like first grade is super hard hitting academics. There's still lots of play and recess and social time that you mentioned he would have gotten in kindergarten.

One thing my therapist has told me for the last year and half that may be helpful - there's no hierarchy to grief. If you are this upset about this situation, allow yourself to feel that without comparison to others who have it worse. It doesn't help to push away our feelings of grief bc we don't feel entitled to them. Acknowledging that this last year and half has given us a lot of losses (small and large) is important.[/quote]
