Parenting is one of the most beneficial yet challenging occupations. Sending my son to preschool was the best thing I've ever done for him, now in Kindergarten he is excelling beyond understanding and his teacher is phenomenal. Even being full-time employed I have rarely missed any milestones with Steven I can recall every single one. I'm glad you are rekindling your dreams =) You have to do what you feel is best and never let anyone sway you otherwise. Parenting is one of the most beneficial yet challenging occupations.

I work outside the home and somedays wish that I was at home. I know it is not an easy job, my sister has three she stays home with (but is never home). I hope that your playdates go well. I was invited to a playdate recently (my first) and I think I am more excited then Bubbies. I so glad your meeting went well. I work outside the home and somedays wish that I was at home.

It really helped me to get out and meet other mom's - especially being in the military so many of the friends I've made here have moved - and surprisingly we're still here!

Kamryn was an introvert to the extreme and she did 2 years, Kamryn grew so much in pre-scool and it did her good. Jillian could go this fall, just 2 days a week. Am I ready?? Heck no. Will she go?? I'm undecided. Does she need it?? Maybe a little bit, she is clingy. Luckily I still have some time to decide. With my girls Morgyn did 1 year of pre-school, she was a pretty open kid.

I know where you're coming from, but as a teacher I can always tell the kids that didn't go to preschool and it's not a good thing. Though you're a much better mom than most and I'm sure she'd be totally fine either way!

I mean there are so many people with so many conflicting opinions about how to raise a child properly that in the end all you can do is try your best and follow your gut. And if it makes you feel better, all of my children have been the only kids in their kindergarten classes who didn't go to preschool. I get a lot of questions on it, even the teacher was kind of funny about "why didn't you do preschool?" You obviously love them and want the best for them, and in my book that's the start of all great parenting. You kind of have to raise them the way you think is best don’t you?

It's tough raising children, everyone seems to know what's best for your kids, but only you know what your children need. My decision to let my youngest enter preschool came when he asked if he could "...go to school like brother." It was so hard letting go, but I knew it was time. You're a great mom, and doing a wonderful job. :o) I know where you’re coming from.
