Do you 'enjoy' spending time with your kids?
- Yes, most of the time we really have fun together
- Sometimes it's fun, sometimes it's really dull and aggravating
- Honestly most of the time it's not fun at all, but it's not supposed to be fun
- I really don't enjoy it at all, and wish I could spend less time with them

So depressed. Can't afford to send DCs to pre-k this year (after 2 years of preschool that they loved).

I have no idea how to address this issue now so she can be prepared for K next year. I feel like a failure as a parent.

Give her plenty of confidence and opportunities to demonstrate how capable she is. She possibly felt overwhelmed. Our DC changed enormously from 2 to 3, 3 to 4, and especially from 4 to 6.
