I cannot quite recall my first day of school, but I remember my son's first day of kindergarten clearly. He had attended two years of preschool prior to this, but kindergarten was in a whole new school. He was also to ride on the school bus for the first time. I knew he was excited and a little bit nervous, and that I was nervous for him. Like in most families, my son's first day was well-documented with many photos. Now that school will be starting again soon, I know we will be digging out those photos to reminisce with him.
On some level, I think the first day of school, no matter what grade you are entering, can be a little stressful. It is your child's chance to make a new first impression. That is why we tried to give my son the tools to be confident, including allowing him to pick out some new clothing items for school and selecting his own outfit for the first day of the school year.
Whether your child is required to wear a uniform or not,
