[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So, I have a kindergartener and she is riding the bus to school. Week One was fabulous. Today, I got 'I don't want to go to school.' But I really think it revolves around the bus stop. She is fine at school, loves her teacher, etc. There are about 12 kids at the stop and most of them live in the 3-4 houses next to each other. So they are all friends and hang out. My DD knows a couple of these kids and has played with them off and on. They are nice to her, but they are nicest when DD has something they want to play with. Once they get a better offer, they drop her like a hot potato. There is only one other kindergartener but she has two siblings also at the bus stop. This morning, I watched DD try to integrate with this group and they don't even look her direction, even the kids she knows! She talks and no one responds. I've tried to help her, by trying to get the kids to talk, but most of them look at me like I have three heads. Ugh! My DH is so much better at this than me, but he is already gone by this time of the morning. This part of parenting sucks, and I'm steeling myself for the I don't want to go to school routine all week.

Anyone have advice or something I can do to try and ease this transition (for her and for me!)

Get to the bus stop later - so there is less hanging around time. It will improve as she gets to know kids on the bus better. Hang in there, I know the first month is a tough one!
