What I learned from my son's birth is that fearing the future is normal but a waste of time.
If your child seems to click with another kid in the class, try to set up a time for you to meet at a park after school and get to know their parent. Seeing you be outgoing with the parents of other children will encourage your child to be open and active in their friendships, too!
One thing I've learned is that preschool teachers really have seen it all - and they can be a wealth of information! If you have any questions about a certain behavioral hurdle with your child or if you have a question about a certain age or phase, ask them!
One of my biggest goals as a mom is to be a pillar of strength for my children - to envelop them in love and address every emotion, but also to have them be absolutely sure that I can protect them in any situation.
Parenthood is so wild in its ability to put a mirror directly in your face and force you to look at yourself long and hard. What a challenge this is, but also what an exhilarating gift.
A baby is such a huge change for everyone, so acknowledge that. It's hard, and you don't have to be great at everything right away.
