Our youngest is taking all our parenting skills right now, so that’s what is mostly on my mind–25 out of the 24 hours in a day. The last two weeks have been less than awesome, as I’ve noted, and now we are only one day in to week three. Is it alcoholics that take it one day at a time? Kindergarten parents should do the same–or so I’ve been told. People have been very supportive, citing their own elementary school parenting crazy. Friends have told me it will work out, that he will learn all the things he needs to learn, and he will mature to the point of using words instead of fists. But, the in between time is very, very hard, and of course, makes us feel like we need to go to parenting classes. I think I might blame all these “worry lines” on him as well. Keep sending positive-learn-how-to-be-a-kindergartener-thoughts our way please. It’s just Tuesday and Friday seems like forever away.

I was so glad to read this! Not so much that you’re having some issues, but just knowing that another mother is going through the same thing I am is somewhat comforting. My youngest son, also all boy, is having some maturity issues this year in kindergarten. His teacher is great and he wants to do good……he just can’t. Lack of focus/attention/maturity (call it what you will) is the issue. And I’m with you, HOW do you correct that?! Anyway, good luck with yours and wish me luck with mine!
