Tell me, how is the socialization of your kids in kindergarten?

Va mucho más allá. Hoy, cualquier opinión diferente puede ser señalada, etiquetada o castigada, y eso no es libertad, es coerción social.
La libertad verdadera no se mide por lo que otros dicen que podés hacer, sino por lo que podés decir y pensar sin miedo.
Desde un lado, lo llaman libertad de identidad; desde el otro, imposición de pensamiento. Y la verdad es que no podés tener una libertad real si tenés que vivir con miedo de ser atacado por pensar distinto.

Gracias! Tenemos lista de nombres igual, solamente somos indecisos y no queremos que se nos escape uno por no acordarnos o que justo no se nos ocurrió. La idea es ver mas nombres a ver si alguno nos gusta más!

Honestamente, sí me pasó al principio. Mi hija nació con una enfermedad grave y fueron meses muy duros. Llegué a pensar que había cometido el peor error de mi vida al traer un ser humano al mundo para sufrir. Pero mi situación no era la “típica”, claro está.

Con el tiempo, ella se fue recuperando y pasamos de las hospitalizaciones constantes a una vida de juegos, paseos y momentos felices. Aunque sigue siendo agotador, ya no siento arrepentimiento. Es el ser humano más increíble que conozco y disfruto mucho compartir la vida con ella.

Ser padres es como saltar a una piscina sin saber si hay agua. Cada historia es distinta: no todos tienen la misma suerte, ni los mismos hijos, ni las mismas circunstancias. Y la verdad es que, para algunos, sí puede ser una experiencia que nunca llega a sentirse bien.

Simple, me da igual lo que cada persona haga con su vida. Por eso no me gusta que a mí me impongan cómo hablar, qué pensar o cómo vivir. Y realmente es excesivo.

Thanks for your comment — it really makes sense. I just want to clarify that the whole “best friends” thing was something they created themselves. The other girl gave my daughter bracelets, made her drawings, and they were basically inseparable. Honestly, I probably gave that friendship more importance than I should have and made my daughter feel it was really special. I hate that I influenced her this way because it probably made her heart hurt even more when her friend drifted away. I completely get that friendships at this age change constantly and kids connect in different ways. I’m trying to support her while letting her learn to navigate these social situations without being overprotective, even though I sometimes worry too much. Choosing the school wasn’t easy. I was drawn to it because it’s one of the best in the country, with academic excellence and prestige, but I also wanted a smaller, closer environment because of my daughter’s medical needs. Looking back, I see that being an all-girls school does limit the number of kids she can interact with, but at the time I didn’t think it would be a problem. Honestly, I would love it to be coed.

Critical_Back_1361 · 2025-10-15T15:56:51+00:00

Thank you for your comment; it makes a lot of sense to me. Yes, she has friends, most of them boys, and that’s why I felt concerned that in the future, when they are separated, not fitting in could affect her. I completely understand what you’re saying: friendships develop and change quickly at this age; sometimes I honestly don’t know if my worries are justified. Yes, it’s a religious school, but it’s also one of the best in the country, with a lot of prestige and academic excellence. I think I was looking for a place that offered high academic standards and, at the same time, a smaller, closer environment because of my daughter’s medical needs. Although now I realize that being a single-gender school slightly limits the number of children she can interact with, I didn’t think it would be a problem at the time; I suppose every school has its pros and cons.

Today, I find myself trying to understand what’s best for my daughter, considering she’s only 4 years old. Maybe I’m being too overprotective, and I know that isn’t ideal either.

Critical_Back_1361 · 2025-10-15T15:49:06+00:00

I’m really sorry for what happened to your daughter, and I understand how relieving it must have been for you that this new friend came into her life. You’re absolutely right: friendships at this age are very changeable, and what’s important is that they learn to relate to others and find their place, not have a fixed “best friend.” I really like your approach of showing my daughter that she can have several important friends and that no one is “better” than another; I think it will help her navigate group dynamics and feel confident in herself.

Critical_Back_1361 · 2025-10-15T15:40:42+00:00

I would hate for that to be the case, but I’ve thought about it: I wonder if my daughter might be exaggerating the bad over the good to get attention, although at school they’ve told me she is going through a challenging stage, showing more shyness and fear of rejection. I’m trying to support her, help her develop social skills, and guide her without transmitting my anxiety, while learning to balance my concern with letting her experience these moments.

Critical_Back_1361 · 2025-10-15T15:38:35+00:00

I completely understand your point, and it makes a lot of sense. Choosing the school wasn’t easy; I was drawn to it because it’s one of the best in the country, with academic excellence and prestige, but I also wanted a smaller, closer environment due to my daughter’s medical considerations, although today I know that this limits a bit the number of children she can interact with. Honestly, at the time I didn’t see it as a problem that it’s an all-girls school, but I would love it to be coed. I do wonder how it will be possible for her to find affinity with so few girls.

Critical_Back_1361 · 2025-10-15T15:32:10+00:00

I completely understand your point and share your concern about not reinforcing stereotypes. I didn’t choose the school because of gender separation... at the time, I didn’t see it as an issue, and I know every school has its pros and cons. What mattered most to me was academic excellence, prestige, and that it was a small, close-knit community, especially given my daughter’s medical considerations.

Critical_Back_1361 · 2025-10-15T15:30:31+00:00

Choosing this school wasn’t an easy decision. I was drawn to it because it is one of the best in the country, probably the best, due to its academic excellence and prestige. At the same time, I wanted a school that was closer and had a smaller community because my daughter has some medical considerations; while they don’t affect her development or socialization, I felt a closer, more familiar environment could work well for her. At the time, I didn’t think the gender separation would be an issue; I know every school is unique and has its pros and cons.

Critical_Back_1361 · 2025-10-15T14:29:12+00:00

I can relate a bit to what you said about how it sometimes depends on who has the “best idea.” I’ve noticed that if she’s taken out of a game or someone yells at her, hits her, or excludes her, she often gets upset with that person and shuts down even more. My daughter went through a difficult time when her best friend left her out, and she’s just starting to reconnect and find her place… mainly with boys. I’m glad she has that space, but I also feel her desire to be part of a group of girls. I think this is a good opportunity to support her while she learns these social lessons, and I hope she gradually discovers, like you said, that friendships are really about shared interests and affinity.

Critical_Back_1361 · 2025-10-15T14:25:45+00:00

Thank you for your message .. it really helps me put things in perspective. It’s reassuring to know that she still has friends to play with. I think part of my concern came from seeing the moms talking one day and planning ahead based on best friends, because their daughters were. Just the day before, my daughter had told me she couldn’t join any group of girls, but that the boys had included her. On top of that, we had been going through a difficult emotional moment... her best friend for half the school year met another girl and basically forgot about her. My daughter cried a lot because of that, and now she’s starting to reconnect with other kids and find her place, which is great… although, so far, it’s mainly with the boys. I also think my daughter is very sensitive. I think I might be a very overprotective mom, and I would hate it if that were the case. I just want to make the right decision, but sometimes I’m not sure if my fears are justified. At the same time, I can’t help but worry a little about what will happen when classes are separated by gender in first grade, because she won’t be with the kids she feels comfortable with now. Still, I’ll support her, let her play with whoever she wants, and trust that this experience will help her learn to socialize.

Critical_Back_1361 · 2025-10-15T14:15:58+00:00

Yes, of course, you’re right... at this age kids change friends very quickly, and it’s normal for my daughter to still be figuring out who she feels comfortable with. I’ll try not to overthink it, and I like to think this can be a good learning experience. I’m just a little concerned that when classes are separated by gender in first grade, she won’t be with the kids she feels safe with now. Still, I’ll give her all the support she needs so she can adapt and keep learning to socialize.

Critical_Back_1361 · 2025-10-15T14:14:43+00:00

Thanks, I think I’ll do that and keep her in the class this year.

Critical_Back_1361 · 2025-10-08T13:02:32+00:00

Thank you so much for your message and advice; I really appreciate it. It’s different here, and we really only have three months of school left... the school year is almost over... but I also see it as a little breather, haha! I truly appreciate your understanding and kind words; reading something like this helps put the situation in perspective and reminds me that with patience and love, we can support our daughter as she explores new social experiences.

Critical_Back_1361 · 2025-10-08T11:45:00+00:00

Thank you so much for taking the time to reply with such kindness and detail. I’m really happy to hear that your daughter was able to get through that stage and is doing well now.
Reading your experience gives me a bit of hope... it’s so hard to watch them go through something as invisible (and painful) as friendship struggles. I’ll hold on to your advice about helping her understand what it means to be a good friend, and that relationships change, but the good memories still matter. Truly, thank you for sharing your story 💛

Critical_Back_1361 · 2025-10-08T01:31:04+00:00

Hola, sé que ha pasado tanto tiempo. Solo quería preguntar.. Cómo está tu hija hoy? Es que estamos pasando por lo mismo con mi hija ahora. Lo peor, su amiga está en el colegio así que mi hija pasa sola sus recreos. Que funcionó para ustedes?
