So how does life change once kids enter school?

My son enters kindergarten this year. I know my life as a parent changed when I went from a ';new baby mom'; to a ';preschooler mom.'; So how is it different when you have a school-age kid?So how does life change once kids enter school?
Well other than the fact that they are gone for a certain amount of time each day, there are also school functions, getting up early for school, going to bed early. Before school, you could pretty much have your child on your schedule because there wasn't anything to interfere. Now it won't be like that. For instance, I'm a night person. That was all great when my kids were on my schedule. Now that they are in school there are only certain days that we can stay up late, certain vacation days, etc., etc. It kind of sucks but it's a fact of life. There are also school clothes and school supplies to buy now. A lot changes and then before you know it they are in middle school!! AAGGHH!!! Good luck!So how does life change once kids enter school?
it is a lot more lonely but the house stays cleaner LOL. By the time I help out in the class, do housework or catch up with friends it is time to go pick them up. Everyone deals with it differently but try to find the posotive
you will totally miss him
Just always supervise him....

because school maybe a bad influence from him( just maybe, it depends on the school but every school had all the kinds of children)

He may know how to lie, how to bully or to be bullied (but in this case make sure you know if he is a victim or the suspect because being bullied when childhood can be remembered until he grows and that will gain him no self confident)

Just always listen to him if he shares story about his school, in that case you knows what he's going trough...

and always support him in things he wanna do...because in that age a child can develop his skills without him knowing...

but school is a good place for a child because he will develop self confidence and will gain knowledge, just be alert of the disadvantages...

and be a COOL mom, it helps a lot...
The older your child gets the more homework you get to do. Some of the assignments that my kids have had would have been impossible for them to do by themselves, so be prepared and never wait until the last minute.
Not to mention all the letters from the school nurse saying they have been exposed to all sorts of crap (Chicken pox, fifths disease,lice etc...)
Well, your son will soon not wanting you to come to school, he'll find it embarrassing. He won't let you hug him infront of his friends or kiss him. It's going to be hard. He might get homework once a week and if he needs help, give him it. Let him go on feild trips.



I know it may be hard to ';let go'; but it'll be great. Don't baby, he's a big kid. You'll do great.
there's not as much screaming.:)



lol jk i'm not a mother i dunno! it will probably b more pleasant tho....i'm sure it was 4 my daddy....
