I have a little one starting tomorrow as well, the two older ones went back today.
First time Iā€™ve been a little nervous because she has a slight speech impediment that makes her difficult to understand. Sheā€™s having therapy but it breaks my heart to think she might suffer for it in the early school days.

is she gone to a private therapist or through the state?

Weā€™ve had a mixture of both, unfortunately her(brilliant) public therapist wasnā€™t allowed to see her privately so weā€™ve had to go with somebody else. she had a week in a specialist summer camp as well. Sheā€™s been awarded a little bit of resource time to help with phonics etc but sheā€™s as bright as a button so sheā€™ll have no problem with the work, I just know that kids can be quite forthright with her saying ā€˜she canā€™t talk properlyā€™ etc, she can clam up a bit when that happens and become overly physical in her communication.

ā€œWelcome to the first day of the rest of your lifeā€, is all you can say to them.

Just tell him make sure he doesnā€™t end like his brother

Do you do stuff at home

Natural to worry but Iā€™m sure she will be fine pal. Are her big Sisters in the same school?

We do loads to be honest and sheā€™s really improving. The speech therapist gives us sounds to work on every week and we use an (quite expensive) app on the ipad called Articulation Station where you buy individual sounds, she enjoys that and does it very well but often falls back into bad habits once itā€™s finished.

They are, itā€™s a very big school though and she wonā€™t see them on yard or anything. Weā€™ll all be there for the moral support at quarter to nine tomorrow.

Whatā€™s up your hole?

Sensational :clap:

Heā€™s dead right. You have mentioned it about 15 times. Iā€™m surprised he ignored it this long

I suggest you have a read again.

Will he get bullied for having a rounder head then the rest of them? :smile:
