Tips to Ease Separation Anxiety
Saying goodbye can be difficult for both parents and children. It is normal to have many different
feelings on the first few days of school. You and your child may feel anxious, sad, excited or a
combination of emotions! Here are a few tips to help you and your child on the first days of pre-K
or 3-K:
• Bring something special from homeYour child's teacher may encourage you to bring along a comfort item from home. A stuffed
animal, favorite doll, a special blanket or even a family picture may help your child feel
connected to home and family while at school.
• A note from home
Write a short note to your child, saying, "Have a great day. I will be back to pick you up at 3:00.
I love you." Let the teacher know that the note is in your child's book bag so that she may read
it to him when he misses you.
• Stay a while
If you see that your child is distressed about you leaving, stay a while. Talk to your child about
what she will be doing at school: show her around the classroom, reintroduce her to the teacher and help her find her favorite toys.• Make sure to say good-bye
Let your child know who will be there to pick her up at the end of the day. Instead of sneaking
out of the classroom, hug, kiss, wave or say "See you later!" once she's become engaged in an
activity. Saying goodbye helps your child feel confident you will return when you say you will.
You can affirm a nervous child's feelings by telling her that you will miss her, too.
• Develop consistent daily routines
Routines are important for helping a young child feel safe in a new place. Using the same hello
and goodbye routine each day is one way to help your child get used to separating each day.
When children know what will happen next in their day they are less likely to feel anxious.
• Make time for play
Playing with other kids helps your child practice sharing and taking turns. Playing can happen
at structured playdates, at the park or at family gatherings.
• Read together every day!
