A 4-year-old girl is excited about starting primary school, believing she needs a laptop for homework. Her mother reflects on the rapid growth of her child and the mixed feelings about this transition. The experience brings both joy and challenges, including the importance of friendships, school trips, and homework obligations. Anticipating future events like preparations for school and playdates, the mother grapples with the realization that her daughter is growing up and entering a new phase of life, while she feels unprepared for the changes ahead.
My 4-year-old daughter confidently informed me, 'I will need a laptop when I start school.' She believes a laptop is essential for her homework.
While my daughter sees school as her biggest adventure, I see it as the start of the rest of her life, filled with inevitable growing pains.
There'll be Sunday evening battles over getting bags ready for the school week, carefully planned camps to tide over the long summer break.
As she begins primary school, she will experience joy in friendships and the pain of break-ups, along with the excitement and slog of homework.
