[QUOTE="confuzzled, post: 547407, member: 8831"] we did exactly as welcometowitsend did--our school was also open the week before we started. we walked through it SEVERAL times, we practiced the combo to the locker A BUNCH MORE THAN SEVERAL times, and we even went so far at to organize her actual stuff in the locker--mine had a binder for every class and the skinniest locker you ever saw to hold it all. and my difficult child seamlessly made the transition--as a matter of fact, she did much better than her peers. i cant even tell you how much it decreased her anxiety--it was so worth the effort. this year she said she'd go once, more to put her stuff in the locker, but that she didnt really need to practice--she is comfortable. and in case she gives the "it would be weird" argument...the school is open for a reason, there were other people doing various things--athletes, some club putting up posters, and a handful of smart ones practicing their locker combos, others doing whatever...we just played it cool and no one paid any attention or thought we were weird. honestly, if thats her fear--and its a very real one, it will help.
