Why do I say, "We have a lot of homework" or "We still have to do read & respond" when it's not my homework or my reading? Because I'm absolutely not separated from my kid in the healthy, you-are-you-and-I-am-me way. But we have homework, we have reading and we are about to say goodbye to second grade.
I don't want to say good-bye. It's so hard, so painfully difficult to find teachers as good as my daughter's second grade teacher. And I'll freely admit that the third and fourth grade parents have me highly nervous about the teachers that await us in these next couple of years. My daughter is so little and young, so vulnerable to the world of mean teachers and bully students.
What can I do about that?
Should I have held my daughter back and "red shirted" her so that she might be a bit older, bigger, more mature? Does anyone have a time travel machine to help me make that happen?
Does worrying help?
