"What If I Can't Find My New Class?"
For friends who had met my son, they will see him as a super cheerful child. Unconcerned about school and his only topic of interest will be Elephants and becoming a Zookeeper when he grows up. Whenever anyone asked if he likes school, his response is always a definite "Yes!".
Thus, I was really surprised to find him a bit gloomy the day before the school term starts in 2017. When asked, he blurted this question to me. "Mum, what if I can't find my new class?"
I was stunned. Sometimes, I forget that emotionally, he's still more vulnerable than his peers of the same age. Probably it's because he's so much taller than his friends! Tall boy ≠ Big boy.
2017 marks the start of his fourth year in primary school and most of his classmates in 2016 had been assigned to different classes. The poor boy was worried that he would not be able to find his new class in the hall on the first day of school. Imagine the School Hall full to the max with Primary One to Primary Six students, his anxiety was understandable. This is also the first year his school practises single session. Last year, P1s & P2s were in the afternoon session.

I did what all Oily mummies would do. Immediately, I whipped out my treasure trove. Applied some Cedarwood on his brain stem and shoulders for a good night's sleep and dripped some Lavender oil on the corner of his pillow for relaxation.

The next morning, I added some Vetiver on his lower spine for some much needed confidence. Not forgetting the usual immunity boosting Thieves on feet and NXR drink.
He came back happy from school on the first day. A school challenging year for mummy starts! Fighting!
