K.G.
Sadly, if she is nervous, she is going to be nervous. You can try talking about it, but I wouldnt necessarily do it directly, or she will avoid it. Over the next few days, as you are doing things, just say things like, "wow, I cant wait to find out how many new friends you will meet", and "I bet you will learn a lot of exciting things at school". Also, with the "big kid" responsibility of 1st grade, give her a new "big kid" perk, like 15 minute later bedtime, or an extra story, or something that she will like. Also, telling her that she isnt the only nervous one might help. I tell my son repeatedly that ALL the kids are nervous, no matter how popular, or friendly, or excited you are about school, it is a new grade and a new teacher for all of them. Sometimes it helps if they know they arent alone in how they feel. Hope this helps.
