My son, who has never had a shy bone in his body, was in tears this morning while he told me he doesn't want to go to school because he doesn't want to practice for his preschool graduation ceremony next week. I asked why, and he said he has to sing and spell his name in front of everyone. So I told him it was okay to be nervous in front of a big group, that LOTS of people are that way, that I would be there in the audience, and so would Daddy, and his brother, and Grandmama, and his aunt and cousin. He finally quit crying when I asked if he'd like me to talk to his teacher so I could find out what they are singing and we can work on it at home with him. When we got to the school, I got a list of stuff they're doing and will work on it at home.
I want to do something special for him, though, like something physical he can have with him up on the stage. I thought about maybe having a picture of the two of us laminated and on a string, so he can wear it.
Any other suggestions?
