MY DAUGHTER'S FIRST DAY AT SCHOOL


I always thought that it would be wonderful to send Naisha, my daughter to school. I wished that she must go without a single tear drop in her eyes and enjoy school from the very first day of her school. I did all that came to my brains.
I started to create interest in her since she was only two years old. That's five months before she was supposed to start her school! I would take Naisha for walks in the school lane and tell her all glorious stories about my own school days. I frequently made her see the school bus. I made her imagine of the time when she would be allowed to wear the splendid school uniform, especially the school tie and the school belt.
We would often play "school-school" and did a lot of role play. She would become the teacher (ma'am) and I would enact a student (Naisha). This formal "Good morning ma'am" had been on her tongue all the while. I told her how friends made in school are the forever kinds(that was My hubby's experience and mine too)! So all beauties of the school were laid in front of her.
I feared what she would do when she saw other kids cry. I thought of preparing her for the same. I said to her "Naisha is a nice good girl. She loves going to school. She is so so strong to stay away from her mom for few hours at a stretch. There are some who are nice and good like her but not so strong though. They keep missing their mom. So what would she do seeing them cry? " She gave me a puzzled look and I threw her into another game of role play and taught her in the process that she should ask those little friends of hers to stop crying.
Before The day arrived I had done almost everything I had aimed at. The night before I slept early along with Naisha. I had bought her a new school bottle, a new lunchbox and a new school bag for her lunch box. Submitting all my endeavours unto Almighty I slept off.
 I kept my fingers crossed, the big morning arrived with all its glory and I got her ready. She was very excited and so were we (her mom-dad). Mohit (my hubby) decided to take a video of our darling. She stood in front of her toy house and spoke "I'm going to school"
we asked "first day?" she repeated "first day"
"Whats your teachers name?"
"Manjari ma'am"
"Whats your papa's name?"
"Dr Mohit"
"Moms?"
"Dr Garima"(Doctor added only after being prompted)
"Whats your name?"
"Naisha Doctor"
And we burst into laughter!! I dropped her to school and she said "Bye mom" happily.
I returned "HAPPILY".

  2. It certainly is heavenly. Parents are Gods on earth. Playing that role takes your nerves though. I would say getting nervous is natural. Its a good idea to get trained and feel empowered.
