Day Care
There comes a time when you have to go back to work and your
toddler needs to be left at daycare or preschool. The
separation pain usually makes every morning, wet from tears.
With a heavy heart you leave your child feeling guilty when
you hear the sobbing behind the closed door. Or maybe you
are sneaking out secretly while your child is engaged in
something else and doesn't see you leave? Here are some tips
how to make the transition to a day care easier on both of
you.
- Choose daycare together. Take your child with you while
searching for preschool. Let him choose which group of
people and which teacher he will like more. This will help
to familiarize him with his preschool before hand and he
will feel less afraid and more confident.
- Talk to your child about the change in your lives; tell
him about the preschool, how is it going to be there.
Knowledge will reduce the fear of the unknown and will make
a transition easier. No matter what age, talk to your child
because your little one is capable of understanding some
things.
- Start with leaving your child for only couple of hours if
possible and then gradually increase the time span until he
can stay for the entire day. This will help to reduce the
shock of separation and staying in a place full of
strangers. It doesn't matter that your child feels confident
from the very beginning, you still should plan increasing
the time span he stays in preschool only gradually.
- Sometimes moms fail to come to pick their children on time
and children wait with anxiety; maybe mommy will never come
to get them? Keep your promises! Lets say you promised your
son to come and pick him up just after dinner. Children ate
their dinner and are gradually leaving home with their
parents and you are still not there. For you it might seem
like a few minutes which you spent stuck in traffic but for
your son it is a trauma. He feels abandoned, wonders if you
will ever show up. Don't be surprised if the next day, your
“always eager to go to preschool child” refuses to go
whatsoever. Keep your promises. Your child should know whom
and when somebody from family members will come to pick him
up. If you are consistent in your words and actions your
child will feel more secure, will trust you more and feel
important and loved.
- Don't ever escape secretly from preschool after your child
starts playing without saying good-bye to him. It is a
tempting way to avoid tears, but escaping is even worse than
crying. If you suddenly disappear your son will stop
trusting in you. Remember, your little one does not know
when and if you are going to return. He will be afraid to be
left anywhere, even at home and cling to you all the time.
Thus tell your child good-bye before leaving, explain to him
that you or his dad will come to pick him up after he eats
his dinner and keep your promises!
