Proud Mum here.
Saw my daughter leave the house for her first day in her new school. More eager than dreading.
I'm quite confident that she will be alright.
Not everyone will realise what a big step leaving the house on her own is.
She came home overwhelmed and tired, but did really well. She did need complete withdrawal for a while though.
Her mentor called in the evening to check up on how she had been doing.
He told me she had amazed him by how she had had no problems getting in front of the new class doing something.
The way this new school is supportive is surprising me in a good way.
