It’s always heartbreaking to drop off your tear-stained child to school. But separation anxiety is very common in this age group. Here are some the ways that you can help your child:
*Visit the school before the first day – Talk to your child about a typical school day, from how they are going to get there in the morning to what they will do, see, and even eat once there.
Books – Reading books about first starting school always help with easing the transition. Knowledge is power and the more information a child has, the more empowered they might feel.
Talk to the teacher – Give the teacher a heads up. Your child’s teacher would have more experience in dealing with separation anxiety and would have tips to share with you.
