crying preschooler

He probably will cry and you could do two things give him a hug and kiss tell him you will see him in a little while and then leave. Now if you choose to do that one he will scream and cry as he sees you go but after a little while he will calm down an begin to play. Or you could ask the teacher if you could stay an help out, and just keep on staying every day for a few days until he is ok with going by himself. If the teacher won't let you stay then you will have to either come up with something else or just leave him there I know it will be hard to do that but try to be brave so your child will be brave too, you could make a deal with him that if he stays you two will go out for ice cream in celebration. Good luck.

this remembers me of the times, i accompany my children when they were still in kindergarten. among my three kids (they are now 27, 25 and 23), my second child (now is 25), used to cry when i left him after walking him to his pre school. he used to cry and don't want to let go of my hand, he said that he's afraid of the kids. i guess that he was a coward back then hehe... but his two other siblings were not a crying baby whenever i left them with them pre school teacher.

Almost everybody does go under that stage. My son wqhen first introduced to schooling did got afraid at first but their teachers slowly made them feel at home and eventually they enjoyed it later as the days passed by. I guess the first thing that you should do is to slowly break her in the school let her play around the surrounding and when the time comes that he is to go at least he would not feel unfamiliar with the environment and the surrounding school premises.

I hope and pray that my toddler does not do this to me. LOL! I do remember that a classmate of mine was like this when I was in PREP. She howled when her older sister left her and it took about 30 minutes to shut her up. I suggest you talk to your child everyday. sort of like preparing him. i know it usually last about a week. Explain to him why you have to leave him there. you can point out that his classmates are not crying nor are they with their parents. I'm sure if they start playing, he will get distracted and start playing with them. Good luck!

Keep in mind that it is normal and most children go through some separation anxiety at one time or another. Here is an article that may help. http://www.helium.com/items/853560-helping-your-child-cope-with-separation-anxiety-at-daycare
