Jacoby has completed one week at his new school. He is actually home today with what appears to be a small cold.
His transition has gone fairly well. The first three days were difficult, one of them more difficult than the others. On Thursday he was back to normal. He came home that day with his first painting from this school.
The transition has been a little rough on the parents, but we are happy with his school and believe he will do well there. As I researched the difference between putting him in childcare and caring for him at home, I discovered that both scenarios have distinct advantages. Neither scenario appears to be superior to the other. In Jacoby's case, I hope the childcare setting develops his social skills.
Another interesting thing I found was that whether a child is in childcare or not, the child's family plays the greatest role in determining how well the child develops over time. See this website for more details on the research I have been reading.
