Hello. I joined here in 2019 but wasn't here for long as my mental health was in an extremely bad place then. I'm pleased to say things are much improved now, I'm a mum, I work, and mentally I'm A1 once again. Life still has its many challenges but I'm much better at coping with them now.
My daughter Elsie is 3 and she'll be starting nursery in a couple of weeks time. She also has autism, very recently diagnosed and I'm apprehensive about how she will do at nursery as it's going to be a big change for her with new people, new toys, new environment and no me. I'm hoping she'll adapt quickly and will be ok but I am anxious about it.
On Friday morning I'm taking her to look around the nursery again where she'll meet different staff members and get to spend an hour at the nursery to get to know the environment. I'll be with her for this.
Maybe I'm just worrying unduly. I just want it to go well and for her to be happy.
Hi,
It's natural to be worried about your little girl but try not to stress too much. She'll have the playgroup staff who are trained to support her as she integrates into the nursery. It might take a bit of time but she will undoubtedly end up loving it there as it will be a place of safety, fun and friendship.
Soon she'll be begging you to take her in lol.
Sending you and your daughter positive vibes. Relax, all will be good xx
All the best with this.
I hope it goes well.
