Some of them find it very difficult to think that they have to leave this baby that they have brought into the world on his own. Some of the children feel the same and you see a few with tears, but I can assure you there are more tears from mothers than from children.</p> <p>https://imgoat.com/uploads/2bb90e8976/71584.jpg</p> <p><a href="https://imgoat.com/uploads/2bb90e8976/71584.jpg">image source</a></p> <p>I usually spend the whole day walking from classroom to classroom to see how everyone is doing.</p> <p>After the parents had left the children start enjoying themselves as we have wonderful teachers who know how to make them feel comfortable.</p> <p>https://imgoat.com/uploads/2bb90e8976/71585.jpg</p> <p><a href="https://imgoat.com/uploads/2bb90e8976/71585.jpg">image source</a></p> <p>Most of them are either playing with clay or painting or just doing fun things.</p> <p>It is so important to make them feel at home in the beginning before school really start so that they know where everything is and what the teachers are like.</p> <p>Some of the mothers sit outside the school waiting, for their children to finish their first day as it is more difficult for them than for the children.</p> <p>As we keep the little ones away from the bigger kids, it is as if they find a friend and that sometimes last for a lifetime.</p> <p>Some brothers and sisters come and peep to see how the little brother or sister is doing but they don’t let them see them.</p> <p>https://imgoat.com/uploads/2bb90e8976/71587.jpg</p> <p><a href="https://imgoat.com/uploads/2bb90e8976/71587.jpg">image source</a></p> <p>I must say these are one of the most fun days at school for me.</p> <p>These young lovable children are all feeling so good and just want to be big.</p> <p>It is hard for parents to except that their children are growing up and have to leave home.</p> <p>What they do not realise is that there is a time when they will leave home forever and that is even worse.</p> <p>https://imgoat.com/uploads/2bb90e8976/71588.jpeg</p> <p><a href="https://imgoat.com/uploads/2bb90e8976/71588.jpeg">image source</a></p> <p>Those empty nest syndromes really get to the mothers they feel so lost. This is just the beginning and this is where they start to learn how to survive without their parents being nearby all the time.</p> <p>It is our job to teach this, so that they can build up confidence for the future and be happy normal children.</p> <p>https://imgoat.com/uploads/2bb90e8976/71596.jpg</p> <p><a href="https://imgoat.com/uploads/2bb90e8976/71596.jpg">image source</a></p> <p>Hope you enjoyed my post and may you have a lovely day here from the Wild Coast.</p> <p>https://imgoat.com/uploads/2bb90e8976/71589.gif</p> <p>https://imgoat.com/uploads/2bb90e8976/71590.png</p> <p><br></p> </html>
