[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It may be common, but it didn't happen to us at all or to anyone I talked to. All the kids had been to some pre-k though before K.  Don't think it's a bad thing if they do act a little crazy, but I don't think parents should easily dismiss their poor behaviour either.[/quote]

This is kind of a dismissive post and I do not think anyone suggested ignoring poor behavior.   The responses were about confirming how normal this is and helping to identify the cause to help parents find ways to address it/preempt it.  I am glad that your child adjusted easily.  This is not jst something that children that are "new to school" experience.  My child, who had been happily in full day care since about a year old, including both daycare and montessori school with aftercare and who NEVER had a transition issue (be it between classrooms with the daycare or moving from her daycare preschool to montessori, always gung-ho about moving to the next place and meeting new friends) had a complete emotional fall apart between 6-6:30 every school day for the first three weeks of traditional kindergarten.  It is a bigger school with a lot more rules.  It is a bigger change than we realize.  Much good advice on this thread and I hope that most kids have calmed down.

I have found a similar but much shorter adjustment every year as we move back into the school year from camps/vacation time.  Very happy to be back in the school year groove.[/quote]
