DS crying before school
DS is in kindergarten which started out fine. The last couple days he's been crying that he doesn't want to go. This morning was screaming that he's not going, he wants to stay home with us, he's scared, it's a long day, I can't do what I want to do, what if there's a fire? They will make us stay in the bathroom for a long time.....,etc.
How have you dealt with this?

Re: DS crying before school
Talk to the teacher about it!
If it’s just at home, I’d ignore it. He may be fine and happy in school.

Re: DS crying before school
Maybe they had a lock down drill last week that scared him? I know both of my kids had them recently. Reach out to the teacher and start there.

Re: DS crying before school
Mine is also in kindergarten and he did this exactly, a few weeks ago & it was short-lived, maybe a week of whining in the morning, a little crying. I’d just reassure him that it’ll be fine, he has to go to school just like all the other kids do and just like daddy and I have to go to work. But he’ll have a good day, it’ll go fast, and then we’ll have a fun night together. That seemed to help.

DS crying before school
Last week DH drove the boys to school instead of them taking the bus since he was going into work late, and my younger DS, who is in K, had to be ripped off the gate by the teacher. He was screaming like we were sending him to his execution. I get a dojo (communication app DS's teacher uses) that he is 100% fine, playing and happy. Tonight DH is upstairs putting him to bed as we speak, and I hear him whining he doesn't want to go tomorrow. I think a lot of it is not that he dislikes school, but more that he would just rather be home.

My dd is in 1st and we had the same issues. Every Monday it struck... she just didn’t want to go to go back to school after a nice weekend of being home. I hated sending her to school crying! Broke my heart. I sent her teacher messages asking how she was and she ended up being fine the whole day. So to the OP, you are not alone. And this too shall pass!

Agree, I would definitely ask about this since he mentioned a fire.
When my DS was in first grade they had a lock down drill while he was in the bathroom. It scared him that he wet his pants a few days later. He was scared a lock down would happen while he was in the bathroom.

Re: DS crying before school
Definitely email the teacher as others have suggested.
I remember once in K my DD, who noramlly LOVED school, started crying one night, sobbing that she didn't want to go and it was "just too much".
I emailed her teacher to ask if anything had happened to maybe cause this and while she couldn't think of anything specific she made sure to keep a closer eye on DD for the next few days.
It resolved itself pretty quickly.
Sometimes the stress of school just hits them. They really are still babies in K and school is so much more stressful than it was when we went. It takes a while to adjust to the schedule, the routine, the attention needed to sit through school all day, etc. It's a long day for them even under the best of circumstances!
