Struggling with sending my 4 year old to TK next year
I’m struggling with the decision of whether to send my son to TK next year or wait and start kindergarten the following year. He turns 5 in April, has never been to school, and I’ve been a stay at home mom his whole life. He’s my last baby, so this one feels extra emotional for me. 🥺
He’s very attached to me and already says he doesn’t want to go to school. Our district’s TK schedule is Monday through Friday from 8am–2pm, which honestly feels like such a long day for a 4 year old.
I was a preschool teacher for years, so I feel confident teaching him at home and working on kindergarten readiness myself. He also has a wheat allergy, which adds another layer of worry for me.
For parents who had an April birthday child… did you do TK or wait for kindergarten? Do you regret your choice either way? I’d really love honest experiences and advice. 🤍
