I’ve been asked lately by several friends how the boys were doing with their school transitions? To which I usually reply very simply, “How do you prepare a 3 year old for the unknown?”

We have already started preparing the boys with letting them know that they are going to a new school soon. And we’ve arranged with the school for them to start visiting once a week for at least a half day. But how do you really prepare them for school transitions?

I’ve had lengthy conversations with my mother who was an elementary school teacher for 44 years and she agrees that the slow approach should work well. But, she also agrees too that the boys adapt really easily, so they should be fine.

Am I concerned about this transition? Not really. This is the best move for the boys long term, as they prepare for school. And at the end of the day, that is really all that matters.
