I think one of my fears with sending my oldest to pre-k this year definitely has to do with the fact that we're expanding our bubble and therefore will be more open to judgements about her behaviour and our parenting. I'm not sure I've really thought about it so directly until now.
When we met with my daughter's teacher today, I let her know that Sybi stims a lot, because I wanted to make sure that no one(or at least no adults) would make her feel weird about it. The teacher has a background in special education and said she would just consider it to be a way that she expresses herself, which I love. It helped me relax a bit to see that she was so well received and that she enjoyed herself so much.
That’s been a huge fear of mine, too. Declan is sensitive and has very big feelings sometimes that can be overwhelming even for me, and I worried so much that he wouldn’t be nurtured or supported the way he is at home--which is partly true--but I had to trust that he would still be okay.
What a lovely educator, I’m so glad to hear that response ❤️
