Please tell me I'm being a typical over anzious prep Mummy.

DD started Prep this week. Her first day was Monday and she came home telling me she'd made friend's with a girl "D". Because of how our school introduces the preps, she hasn't gone back until today... along with all 80 of the prep kids.

DD has gone to long day care since 4.5 months and is used to noise, large groups, and mayhem. But this morning she clung to me when it was time to go in. I put it down to 21 kids, 21 parents (prob more because some had 2 parents there), plus 2 teachers. In one small classroom. I'm convinced she will be fine with this by the end of the week.

But what I'm worrying about it her not having any friends. DD went through a rough patch at Kinder this year and so we purposely sent her to a different school to all her "friends" (more commonly known as frienemies). But this afternoon when I asked her if she made any new friends today (and she doesn't normally have issues making friends) she said no. I asked her if she played with D today. "no". When I asked, she said that D didn't want to play with her - she wanted to play with another child she made friends with that day. But in class D followed DD around everywhere. When I asked DD who she played with, she said "no one Mum. But that's ok, I like peace and quiet".

My heart broke for her. To not have anyone to play with is so sad. And now I'm wondering if I made the right choice to send her to a different school to her kinder class.

Please tell me it gets better. That they make friends. I often didn't have friends in primary school because I moved around a lot and I don't want DD to live through that loneliness. I ran into a kinder mum at the shops this afternoon and was almost in tears telling her. She said that a lot of kids have the same experience but they make friends and by the end of the first month, they all have friends. Tell me she will be ok.
