A Special Day: Sara Haines Marks Sandra's Graduation
Let’s talk about a moment that tugged at everyone’s heartstrings this week. The View co-host Sara Haines got emotional while celebrating her daughter Sandra’s kindergarten graduation. Sharing the joy with her fans, Sara posted some absolutely adorable photos from the event on her Instagram page. This wasn’t just any graduation; it was Sandra’s first big step into the world, and the pride in Sara’s voice was palpable. The post, which went up on Wednesday, June 19, quickly became a hit, melting the hearts of fans across the internet.
In the caption, Sara shared Sandra's sweet thoughts about the big day. “Sandra on graduation: ‘I’m a little excited but like, nervous. I came to this school when I was 3 and now I’m 6,’” Sara wrote. That simple reflection from her daughter captured the essence of this milestone. The photos also featured Sara’s husband, Max Shifrin, cheering Sandra on. You could feel the love and support radiating from the family.
Behind the Scenes: Sara Opens Up About Motherhood
On Thursday, June 20, Sara took her heartfelt reflections to the next level during an episode of The View’s “Behind the Table” podcast. She shared how bittersweet it was to watch her daughter grow up. Sandra isn’t the only child in the family; Sara and Max, 41, also have sons Alec and Caleb. But each child’s milestones bring their own unique emotions, and Sandra’s graduation was no exception.

Sara revealed that Sandra made a precious video on her phone about the graduation, complete with her cap and gown. The video was nearly four minutes long, and Sara couldn’t resist showing it to her hair and makeup team backstage at The View. Their reaction? Pure joy. They couldn’t stop smiling, and Sara joked with the show’s executive producer, Brian Teta, that this video might make an appearance at Sandra’s wedding rehearsal dinner one day.
The Emotional Weight of Milestones
As parents, we all know that these moments can hit hard. Sara admitted that she was a mess during Alec’s graduation, crying so much that she decided to sit in the back at Sandra’s ceremony to avoid being a distraction. She explained the significance of this milestone, saying, “It’s the first time your child is going out into the world into these schools, and this school is a much more coddling, teachers hug if you’re upset… something about them leaving that feels like the first step of letting go.”
She continued, “Now it’s official, schools, public schools, rules. Teachers probably aren’t going to be hugging them, loving them.” It’s a poignant reminder of how these milestones aren’t just about the kids growing up—they’re about parents learning to let go too.
More Heartwarming Moments
Just earlier this month, Sara shared another sweet moment from her life. She posted a photo of herself attending a basketball game with Sandra and some friends. Fans were quick to notice the resemblance between mother and daughter, with one commenter noting, “Your daughter looks so much like you!” It’s moments like these that remind us how special the bond between parent and child truly is.
The Wisdom of Motherhood
As a working mom of three, Sara has plenty of wisdom to share. In an interview with The Local Moms Network, she revealed the best piece of advice she’s ever received about motherhood. “My mom told me, when I had my first child as an infant, that no one chapter or phase of motherhood defined a mother,” she explained. “I struggled with having a little baby and thought I would take to it naturally, as I had always loved babies. Those words gave me permission to be ‘good enough’ along the way.”
This advice has become her personal mantra, helping her navigate the ups and downs of raising three kids while juggling her career. “My mantra is ‘good enough,’” she confessed. “As a lifelong perfectionist, I never could have anticipated just how jarring having kids would be to any sense of control I thought I had in life. When I inevitably get overwhelmed, I often pause and think the phrase or even say it out loud. I’ve used it long enough that I have a bit of a Pavlovian response to it, and I usually settle down a bit.”
