[quote=Anonymous]We’ve done both. Personally, I preferred Fridays over Mondays for the following reasons: - First few days after transfer are lower stress (especially if parent works weekdays), can be focused on flexible fun activities, and less homework - allows the kids to adjust over the weekend and feel more organized/prepared for the next school week Two possible upsides to Monday transfers, especially for a parent that works long hours M-F: - the incoming parent might feel more relaxed/ready to pick up the kids on Monday after that parent just had a weekend w/o the kids. This also gives that parent the weekend to get the house ready and to plan for the upcoming days with the kids - gives parent and kids the immediately preceding weekdays to co-plan activities for the upcoming weekend. This is especially helpful for last minute scheduling of playdates for younger kids [/quote]
