It's your child's 1st month of school, and when you drop them off to school, they're moved to tears. What is a good way that you can comfort and reassure your child without causing daily turmoil when the time comes to drop him/her off?
Well, there are many different paths that you can take to bring reassurance and stability. One thing that is a very good idea is to have a routine for your child. Maybe they like to always give you a kiss on the cheek before you leave, or even showing you some pictures they drew in class. Maybe they love for you to walk them to the door, and give them a nice long hug. Whatever the routine, it's something that your child will love and look forward to. It has to be consistent. Remember, when children are growing up, it's the routine things you do that brings stability in their lives. One thing that my mother always did when I was younger was give me a long hug, and tell me that she loved me. That was enough to last me the entire day. What does your child need to last them throughout their day?
The other component to ease a child's anxiety of you leaving is by providing them with a consistent routine. You bring instability to their life when they don't have a consistent schedule. Make the time they arrive and leave for school the same, if possible. I know it might be a little harder for the working woman (or husband), but try to do your best. Your child will appreciate it.
Sincerely,
The Caring Mom
