For the morning the backpack is bigger than they are, and you are the one who is not fine.

The backpack is enormous. The shoes are new. They walk into that building without turning around, which is exactly what you raised them to do and somehow the worst part of the whole morning. Then you get back in the car and sit there for a minute.
A song for the first day of kindergarten does two jobs. It gives them something brave to play on the drive in. And it gives you a record of the exact week your kid stopped being a baby, which is a thing you will want later and cannot go back and get.
The brave song for the drive in
Their name, their new backpack, the teacher's name, and a chorus that says they can do this. Nerves respond well to a beat.
The parent's side of the drop off
For you, not them. The letting go, the empty car, the pride tangled up with the rest of it. Keep this one for yourself.
A time capsule of five
Who they are the week before school changes them. The mispronounced word, the imaginary friend, the thing they will not admit to at eight.
Big day, Nora. New backpack, new teacher, new everything. La Ritournelle made you a song about starting kindergarten, so you have something to sing on the drive in.

Play it on the drive in, or keep it as the record of the week everything changed.
It can. A song that names the teacher, the backpack, and the actual fear tends to shrink it, because the thing has been said out loud and set to a beat. Ask for reassuring rather than hyped up.
Yes, and more parents ask for that than you would guess. Tell us it is the parent's side of the drop off and we write it honestly, for you to play in the car afterward.
Yes. The song is ready in minutes, so even a last minute brief on Sunday night is queued and ready for the drive in.
Yes. Any first morning at a new school works the same way. Tell us the grade, the school, and the teacher's name, and we build the song on those details.
Tell us the story, we handle the rest. Your song is ready in minutes.
