Hey Friends, Teachers, Parents and Caregivers!

How has your world been lately? Feel free to hit reply and let me know!

So we are half way through term 1 here in Australia, and every day is slowly getting better as my daughter heads into school! I worked with the teacher to make the drop off transition quick as not to linger and to quickly disperse uncertain feelings.

The teacher has started putting out some toast, dry cereal or some dry, easy to manage food on the table for my daughter as to get her through the gate and quickly distract her from the transition of saying goodbye to me. So far it seems to be working well!

Friend - How to ask to play with someone, how to handle rejection and how its always good to be nice.
