[quote=Anonymous]No my kid was like yours -- wanted to stay home and not excited about preschool. She got a reprieve because of Covid and started at 3.5 just three days a week. She did fine but it was a struggle every time. We thought switching to 5 days a week would be easier (thinking the inconsistencies of just three days a week kept her from getting comfortable. Nope. She still had serious separation anxiety until she was 4.5 even with two wonderfully kind and supportive preschool teachers and a terrific playbased curriculum.

She did eventually get over it and by K she was heading into school happily most days (some exceptions). But now at age 8 she's still a homebody. I do think at 3 it was a lot about not wanting to be away from us and being scared to get used to new people. But in retrospect I also think she's just someone who likes being home and also likes smaller groups of people and more quiet. She's a good student but is always happy to come home at the end of the school day.[/quote]
