[quote=Anonymous]Definitely move the bedtime up!  My 3yo is hit or miss on naps and low sleep needs and she needs to be in bed by 7 on days she doesn’t nap.  Sounds like your little one needs a lot of sleep, so definitely push bedtime to 7 or even 6:30.  School days are exhausting even if they’re used to group care!

Do you have any flexibility in your schedule?  I confess that while my 3yo has adjusted to school just fine, she is scared of aftercare so I’ve just been picking her up right from school.  My work schedule is really flexible (especially in the afternoon — everyone I work with is in Europe) so I just finish up my last 1.5 hours of work after bedtime/before the kids wake up in the morning.

Do you have contact info for any of the other parents in his class?  Would setting up play dates with the other kids help make school more socially attractive to him?  We ran into another family from the school last weekend and the kids were thrilled to see each other which means I now have one friend’s name to use to remind my kid that actually she likes school.

Either way, big hugs!  It’s a big transition for him, the mom guilt is real for you (I’m so sorry about your mom’s comments!), and seeing your kids struggle is always so so hard.  I hope you guys have a good weekend![/quote]
