[quote=Anonymous]DD was the same way that first year! Full day kindergarten was nothing in comparison. I think it's all the outdoor time, plus the heat and mild dehydration. Like everyone else says, I brought a snack with me at pick up. Cold water, too. Also, we didn't get in the car to go home right away. Something about the immediate transition was too much for her. Just having a few minutes of downtime right then and there at the pick up spot seemed to help a lot. So we usually vegged in the grass or on a couch inside for 5-10 minutes before heading home. She was really into word searches, so I got a book of kids puzzles and let her have some quiet time. I saved all my questions etc. for later. Usually by the time we got home, she had perked up and was happy to tell us all about her day.[/quote]
