Elizabeth Hendrickson is like many parents across the country. Most are emotional about sending their kids off to school. The Young and the Restless star was in her feels as she shared her daughter’s big moment on social media.
Big Girl Energy
Hendrickson posted a Reel on Instagram that showed her daughter, Josephine James, hopping in the schoolyard. She was ready for the first day of school, all dolled up in a pink T-shirt and red skater skirt. Hendrickson wrote across the video, “Day 1. Big girl energy.”
Despite documenting this cheerful video, Hendrickson, who made her Y&R directorial debut earlier this year, was in her feels. She wrote in the caption, “First day of kindergarten. ✨ She skipped right in with all the confidence… meanwhile, I’m over here trying not to cry. 🥹💕” Josephine didn’t need her mom to escort her to school. She was ready to enter those doors. Many parents can relate to Hendrickson’s raw feelings.
Super Relatable
Y&R fans took to the comments section to react to Hendrickson’s post. Most of them expressed joy at the video. While others wished Josephine a wonderful school year. One person wrote, “Have a great day and a great school year.❤️” Someone else commented, “Have a wonderful year, Josephine, 🥰❤️ you look so adorable. 🥰”
A third person echoed the previous comments by adding, “Good luck, Josephine, 🥰 have a great, safe school year.♥️” Other fans praised Hendrickson for being such a strong mother. Parents have so much more to worry about when it comes to sending off their kids to school these days. It can be difficult to let your kids go because you’re so focused on their safety.
The comments section became a safe place where other parents shared similar stories. One person wrote, “I remember those days. And when my daughter came home from her first day of school, she plopped down on the bed and fell asleep. New energies, new ideas. 🙌🙌❤️❤️”
