When a child starts attending a new school, it is common for him to react to the transition, often with tears. Some<br \/>\nchildren cry right away while others wait for a few weeks. If you are a parent of a child who is crying when you leave, have faith. All will be well.<\/p>\n<p>Keep in mind that we adults are key to how our children feel about change, and small, seemingly insignificant things can affect the process. Years ago when Pam and I were teaching together, we had a little girl in our classroom who was experiencing separation difficulties. When the mother brought the child, she rarely cried, but when her father dropped her off, the flood gates opened. But why? The dad appeared to be doing everything right. He didn\u2019t linger. He gave a sweet hug and a brief goodbye, but the tone of his voice as he said, \u201cGoodbye<br \/>\nKelsey\u201d sounded as if he were saying, \u201cOh, no, you\u2019re going to start crying aren\u2019t you?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes the issue isn\u2019t the child\u2019s, but ours. We adults send nonverbal signals young children read more easily and quickly than the words we say. They also know all the buttons to push because they have installed many of them. Having a mission can sometimes build a bridge from home to school. Some ways to do that are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li> Sending food for the class pet, or flowers for the snack table.<\/li>\n<li> Sending a small breakfast item to eat at the snack table before work time begins.\n<li> Bringing something from nature such as a caterpillar in a jar, or a beautiful fall leaf to distract the child from the emotion of transition.But you are key to a successful transition, too. The most important thing you can do is<br \/>\nrelax and trust us. When you are relaxed and confident, your child will be too, and before you know it, life will be good.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>But you are key to a successful transition, too.
