[QUOTE="ShakinThingzUp, post: 90732, member: 4250"] Beginning Kindergarten is a big step for kids. They get excited & have no idea what to expect.... they just know its all new and exciting and it consumes them.... a whole range of new things are being thrown at them every day. Assuming she just started school a few months ago, I would wonder more about how she may be doing in school than anything else. School may be making her more tired than normal - she may need more sleep or less activity because she's just getting accustomed to longer days, etc. I would also talk with her teacher about what you have noticed - does she act tired or sleepy in school? Is she having any problems keeping up in class? Kids are expected to know so much when they enter Kindergarten now, and sometimes it is too easy to feel overwhelmed - even when they DO know all that stuff. The smartest kids can get overwhelmed by kindergarten. The possibilities of what could make her more tired or sad that are associated with the first few months of school EVER are endless... haing trouble making friends at school? good friends not in her class? not like the teacher? feel sad not to have you with her during school? not understand what the teacher is saying or doing in class? someone picking on her all the time in class or playground? Sometimes, at 5 they don't even remember that those things happened, it just changes the way they "feel" about everything and they don't know why. I'd talk to her teacher, and stay in touch. And don't worry - you're doing everything you can. God Bless! Amy [/QUOTE]
