If you’ve ever sent your little one off to kindergarten, you know the emotional rollercoaster that comes with it. It’s tough to watch your baby take that leap into “big kid” territory, and the first day can be filled with tears and worries. But once you’ve navigated that milestone, every subsequent first day of school feels like a walk in the park!
A mom named Jenna Thompson perfectly captured this contrast in a funny viral video that many parents can relate to. Jenna, who runs a blog called Life with Jenna, shared a video on social media that portrays her emotional breakdown during her child’s first day of kindergarten. And honestly, who hasn’t been there?
In the video, Jenna starts off by dramatically lamenting, “He’s not ready! I might have to go back and get him!” She frets over whether her child will remember to ask for help or if his teacher will know he needs 14 hugs every hour. All totally valid fears, right? She even wonders what she will do all day without him, contemplating counting the seconds until they’re together again. It’s a classic case of kindergarten anxiety; after all, it’s a big change for both kids and parents.
Fast forward to the first day of school in subsequent years, and the scene shifts dramatically. Now, Jenna is dressed to the nines, hair styled, and she’s blasting pop music in the car as she drives away from the school. She answers her phone with an enthusiastic “Yes!” to plans for a spa day and even a spontaneous trip to Vegas. Talk about a transformation!
While Jenna’s video is an exaggerated take, it holds a lot of truth. Every parent feels those jitters when sending their child to school for the first time. Kindergarten is a monumental milestone, and it can be tough to let go. But as the years pass, that anxiety lessens significantly. You may find yourself happily waving goodbye as your kids hop on the bus for another school year, no longer worried that they’ll feel lost or lonely.
So, to all the first-time kindergarten parents out there: take heart! It definitely gets easier – and way more fun!
