*~*Good Morning Precious Girls it's Monday the 5th of May*~*

Morning Jilly and those to come

Today I need to do a big grocery shop, drop off some items to Dfriend & do housework.
DD has preschool, hopefully she will do alright, still having some issues with her not wanting to go

Have a great day

Hi Medusa,

Don't know whether this helps, but I know with young children one problem with transitions (moving from one place to another) is that it's hard for them to picture themselves somewhere where they're not at the moment and think about what it's going to be like to enjoy that - if that makes sense? Chances are that the bits where your DD feels scared/upset because you've left her are the bits that stay most vivid in her mind when she's thinking about it before going there (because those are the memories that have the strongest impact on us), and the bits where she enjoys playing there are much harder for her to bring to her mind when she's not actually there, even though they actually make up a lot more of her day.

I was wondering whether it would help to get some photos of the different bits of the preschool and make up a little book for her that you could go through together in the mornings, to remind her of the bits she likes? And use that as a way to remind her of fun things she's done there? ("Look, the Play-Doh corner! Remember when you had lots of fun making pretend biscuits and cakes there and pretended to cook them in the oven?") It just might help her get her mind focused more on the bits she does enjoy. Don't know whether that's any help at all...
