It usually starts two days before. You’ve laid out the uniform and packed the school bag. But your kid is still screaming at the back, saying, “I don’t want to go to school." You may feel surprised that the child who spent half the vacation complaining they were bored now doesn't want to go to school. Don’t panic about this situation. Rather, they are not being dramatic.
