[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thx again for the suggestions and support. She went to full day Kindergarden this last year...[b]and I am remembering how hard the first couple of months were while she adjusted.[/b]

OP this discussion got a little off the rails.  In my opinion, here is the key to finding your solution.  Also, there are ways to decompress other than TV.  [/quote]

OP here...would love to hear suggestions other than TV for decompression. I have no problem with TV but am interested to hear what works for you.[/quote]

When my 5 year old gets home from camp at 3:15 she gets a snack.  Some days she wants to talk about her day and some days she's not ready yet.  Then she has veg out time, which can be coloring (very mindless and sort of soothing), building something with blocks or legos, or some other mindless independent activity that does not require too much energy, or some days TV.  After that she usually has much more energy!

And a lot of the posters here are just over the top.  I am a SAHM and my child goes to day camp for at least a month of the summer.  She loves it, and it's where all her friends are.  She's too young to be "riding her bike all over the neighborhood" as someone else put it.  She may as well be playing with and having fun with other children!  It's camp, not Kumon for 8 hours a day!  They swim, do crafts, and play fun games.  I still have memories of the camps I attended, and I had a SAHM too. [/quote]
