Separation anxiety is a normal behavior and can occur anytime at any age. Parents can encourage the child’s first school experience by:
- Telling your child that you are happy that they attend preschool.
2. Telling your child that you are sure they will have fun.
3. Telling your child that you will be back to get them when school is over.
4. Encouraging your child to put his/her belongings in his/her cubby, saying goodbye, and leaving. Prolonging departure raises anxiety in children because the child may feel the parent is afraid to leave them.
5. Demonstrating trust in teachers.
