Raising Confident Daughters Day 12: School Jitters

[Cafe Kate]

School is a hotbed of mixed self-esteem messages. During the summer, talk about friendships, teachers, social pressures and anything else that she might want to chat about. Being open and receptive to what she has to say—good or bad, small or big—can help build mutual trust and strengthen your relationship. It will also allow you to ease any fears or lend insight before the year begins.

Does your daughter enjoy school? Is she worried about anything this school year?

 She loves school, always has. She misses it in the summer, so we try to keep her involved in activities where she is learning. She loves to read, and the library now has a teen room where kids age 11-15 can meet and have their own area. College students do their volunteer work there. There's Wii, games, and lots of other things to keep them interested, along with special programs and tutoring. She's looking forward to 7th grade.

My girls are too young for school but they are in Bible School this week and McKenna is nervous about actually going in because the boys get so rough and wild but we just have a little pep talk and she is good. :)

DD loves school but hates all the drama and clicks with kids and their parents that need to grow up also and quite thinking their child would never do that.

My DD is 5 and will be starting Kindergarten in the fall. She was in Pre-K last year - she LOVES school. We have had some social adjustment issues, but overall, school has been great so far.  I think she is nervous about the new school, but excited as well.

My daughter does not want to go back to school.  She says she has no worries.

We homeschool so they don't have as much outside pressure (teachers, kids not liking them, bullying....).   They are however like any other kids and don't like the schoolwork itself

My daughter is super excited to start school this year! She will be in 4th grade and they get to help out with the kindergarteners and she is hoping she will get to help. Last year was a VERY rough year for her so it is a breath of fresh air to have her so excited. I was scared she would be terrified about the new school year. we already bought all her school supplies. She is just itching to use them. lol I love my little girl!!
