Some mornings it is such a challenge to drop my 3 1/2 yr old off at preschool. He suddenly gets so strong that I cannot break his hold. It’s amazing, like he’s gotten this super hero strength! On the other hand, my Kindergartener loves going to school so much he’s only looked out the window of the bus to wave once or twice so far this year! So different than when he went to Preschool Camp two summers ago!
After posting a couple ideas to possibly help with school separation anxiety, a nice comment came in suggesting I share a link with you. Normally I wouldn’t just share anything, so I spent some time reading the article and think it might help as it has some background on why a child might be experiencing separation anxiety.
I also did a basic search for school separation anxiety and found so many useful articles from Parenting.com, helpguide.org, aacap.org and several others with ideas that I may just be using to help soften the ‘pain’ for Sweet Pea when I drop him off in the mornings. (I’m not necessarily endorsing these sites, just saying there may be useful information here for you.)
I really encourage you to do some research if this is an ongoing issue with your child. There is so much information out there that might just make this less of an issue for you and your child.
