And that was home, right?
You always have to have a place that soft place to land.
And for a while, if new school is a tricky thing, making home sort of a school-free zone
You don't have to talk about school if it's not going well.
You don't have to worry about, you know, we don't have to do this now.
It's okay.
If you just want to be home and just be the place where you feel most comfortable, that's okay too.
You know, so I think a lot in a case like that, a lot of the prep work is behind the scenes with the school and setting up a support system that believes in your child and your child's experience.
And then I think the other thing is, you know, for a lot of kids, socials, the social piece of it is super, super hard and
And they worry about making new friends and all of those kinds of things, right?
And I think to some degree, talking to your kids about what friendship looks like is really a big deal to me.
I've always wanted to make sure that my kids understand that you can have different types of friends, that you get to decide what friendship looks like for you, and that you don't have to accept anything less than what you want from a friend.
Right.
Because I think that a lot of kids are like, this kid spends time with me, so they're my friend.
But I think it's important to give them this idea that you get to decide what friendship looks like.
Because it's naive to teach kids that all kids are going to be friends with all kids.
That's just not sort of the way life works.
So I think one of the things about starting a new school is reminding your kids that there may be kids that you play with in the neighborhood and kids that you play with at school and have over after school.
Or maybe kids that you hang out with in school, but you wouldn't think to have over.
Or kids who like all the same things as you do.
