Inception of "Worried" "Shy" "Scared" in my child
I don't like how the book focuses too much on the negatives of starting preschool. My child started to focus on being "worried" or "shy" as the book describes the anxieties of starting school more than the joy of learning and benefits of preschool. Only at the very last page does the book focus on "preschool is fun" Unfortunately, now my daughter says "worried" and "shy" and "scared" whenever we talk about going to school. I have hence removed the book from her circulation at home. I recommend Daniel Tigers "Daniel Goes To School" -- which focuses on the positive activities of school and the act of "grown ups come back" rather than focusing on the anxieties that starting school may cause.
