- Visit the kindergarten in advance Please make an appointment before your child attends the new kindergarten. This gives you the opportunity to meet you and your children, discover the environment, and feel everyday life. When your baby lives regularly, they can be more comfortable and trusting the surroundings.
- Talk to your child about kindergarten It is important to talk to your child about what to expect at daycare. They spend time with other children and explain that there are different activities they can participate in. You can also promise to retrieve it at the end of the day. By doing this, you can relieve your anxiety and fear of going to daycare.
- Start with shorter sessions To help your child adjust to childcare, consider starting with shorter sessions. This may mean spending only 1-2 hours in the nursery at first and gradually increasing the amount of time spent in the nursery. This will help your child get used to new habits and become more comfortable being away from you.
- Establish a goodbye routine Creating a goodbye routine can help your child feel more confident when taking them to daycare. This can include giving him hugs and kisses, telling him when he’ll be back for him, and reminding him that he loves him. Consistency is key, so stick to the same routine every day.
- Pack familiar objects Sending your child to daycare with a familiar object, such as a favorite toy or blanket, can provide a sense of comfort and security. It can also help them feel more comfortable in their new surroundings.
- Preparing for separation anxiety It is common for children to experience separation anxiety when they start a new child care setting. To help your child deal with this, try to stay calm and positive when you leave. Avoid prolonging the breakup as it can make the breakup even more difficult. It also helps to establish a habit of giving up regularly. Doing so can give your child a sense of predictability and security.
