[quote=Anonymous]I think it totally depends on the kid and likely the school environment (and how they match up). My DD was at home with a nanny up until starting school so I was pretty nervous about the transition, especially because it was an immersion school. But she adjusted beautifully. Yes, she was more tired at the end of the day but that was actually a good thing- meant I could get her to go to sleep at a decent hour. But my kid is really high energy and thrives off of being in a busy, stimulating environment. If your kid is more introverted then it might be a harder transition. I agree on holding off committing to any other outside activities until you see how she copes. And be prepared to adjust bedtimes or build in more relaxing evening/weekend activities as needed. But children are pretty resilient little buggers so even the parents I know who struggled with an adjustment period said everything eventually fell into place.

Another thing I'll add is that I've noticed that in K a lot of the little girls are already developing that "mean girl" attitude. So watch out for that happening and be prepared to help support/talk your child through it and how to handle it. [/quote]
