Amber's Anxiety

I might have written this similar post exactly a year ago.

Amber is now in Kindergarten 1, which you might refer to as Senior Nursery. But she's still a baby in many ways and for most of this week, she was very apprehensive about going into school - she started crying, whining, sobbing, clinging when she arrived at school (or Chinese class), exactly like last year, and the year before. Anxiety attacks. Fear of seperation.

Perhaps being born at the end of the year has an effect on her. When Shannon was roughly her age (around 48 months), she was just going to Nursery 2, because Shannon was born in January. However, Amber, being born in October, ends up experiencing everything much earlier in life - which is good in a way, but also makes her rather immature at the time.

But as history has proven, this coming week will be much better - until the long Chinese New Year weekend throws a spanner in the schedule and will set us back by several days. Oh well, growing up is hard to do.
