Young children often experience fear or anxiety about going to school for the first time. Many experience anxiety when starting a new class, even though they may have gone to school before. Although these fears may appear small and transitory to parents and other adults, they could be very real to the young children who experience them. These fears could sometime masquerade as stomach aches and headaches and can prevent the appropriate adjustment of young children to the school environment.

TJ Cat’s First Day at School: How TJ Cat and Puppy D Became Friends is a short children’s story that deals specifically with young TJ Cat who experiences fear in going to school, primarily because he doesn’t have any friends in his class and is unsure whether his teacher will like him. Although he is told by adults that school would be fun, TJ Cat is not convinced, until he finds out for himself that school can be fun.
