In a heartfelt TikTok post, a mother revealed how a hefty kindergarten homework packet drove both her and her son to tears, prompting her decision to let him opt-out. She expressed, 'We have been working on it and trying to work to the best of our abilities.' The overwhelming intensity of the assignment led her to question the expectations placed on young children regarding homework.
Reflecting on her decision, Cayley stated, 'I just sent my son's kindergarten teacher a cutesy little email saying I'm sorry, based on the stress, mental, physical anxiety it's causing my kid, we are done.' She highlighted the importance of emotional boundaries for children and made a strong statement: 'Work to live, we don’t live to work.' Her remarks resonated with others in the comments.
