Hi all to those who have BTDT dd4 is due to start school in May - the school has suggested she do 6 weeks in year 0 (kindergarten) for assessment/settling purposes and then if they are happy with her she'll be bumped up to year 1 so she can go year 2 next year (so one grade skip.
DD has highly unrealistic expectations of school, did any of you do anything (or wish you had done so) that eased the transition to school? Social or academic suggestions would be great. DD is one of those kids that charms older kids and adults however she struggles with kids her own age due to **ahem** leadership characteristics... and also talking like a 10 year old. She thinks there will be some serious study going on. The school she is going to is lovely which lots of outdoor play (5 times a day) and very accepting of different kids so I really want it to go well for her!
