“All over the world, we see parents spending much energy doing the best for their child, and play is not on that list because they don’t have the background to understand what it could do.

It's really important to feed your child's need for answers and learning new things. As you know kids get bored very easily, so to teach them something, it has to be fun.”

Dear Parents,
Be Consistent:
Many moms may see their child have a bad first reaction to preschool and immediately decide to pull him out of the classroom. But that's a bad idea: "It denies the child an opportunity to learn how to work through negative feelings and sets a precedent of not having to face problems,"consistency is key when it comes to making preschool a part of your child's new routine. Simply going together on a regular basis will provide your little one with a strong sense of anticipation. Keep your goodbyes short and sweet so that your child knows what to expect but doesn't prolong your departure. When you pick him up at the end of the day, reinforce the idea that you came back, just like you said you would. This way, each day's drop-off won't feel like you're both starting teary and upsetting goodbyes all over again.
Get the Teacher Involved:
"Their eating, sleeping, and toileting patterns are just as important as knowing their favorite color, what games they like to play, or what songs they like to sing. It also helps to know what techniques the family uses to calm a child down when she is feeling upset or anxious [so I can] try to replicate those techniques in the classroom." Be sure to let the teacher know about any medical issues, such as food allergies.
Prepare a Comfort Object: Have your child bring a little reminder of home to the preschool to ease his separation anxiety and reassure him. If he doesn't have a favorite doll or blankie, even a beloved book or a sippy cup filled with his favorite drink can do the trick.
Don't Sneak Away:
It might be tempting to bolt from the room, but your little one will feel more afraid if you suddenly disappear. "Moms should never be ripped away abruptly from their child," says Fran Walfish, Psy.D., child and family psychotherapist and the author of The Self-Aware Parent. "It can take up to ten weeks for a child to fully be ready to be left at school without her mother." Dr. Walfish says. "The best way to handle the separation process is to begin by Mommy going to school with her child and sitting next to her. She should not interact with her in games and toys, but rather be there as a safety net." Instead, develop a good-bye ritual.
Resist Surprise Visits:
Once you've left your child, resist the temptation to go back and check on her, and don't phone the school every hour. "If you're always checking up on your child, you risk the reciprocity of your child checking' on you constantly," Dr. Walfish says. "It is extremely helpful for moms to develop a team approach with their child's teacher.
Don't focus on your child's reaction.
how she calms herself down so she can cope with your absence. If your child cries like it's the end of the world every time you say goodbye, it's okay (even though it's tough to watch). What matters more is that she starts playing happily two minutes after you've left. If she never learns to calm herself down, that can turn into a problem. In fact, what distinguishes separation anxiety from a disorder isn't age per se.
Keep your goodbyes upbeat.
Your mission when you leave: To reassure your little one that going away (and returning) are perfectly normal experiences. That's why you want to put on a happy, confident face when you say bye-bye. Saying, "I'll be back soon!"
Try some trial runs.
If your little clinger can't stand the thought of you going to the bathroom without her, practice mini separations. Play games like peekaboo or, especially, hide and seek. Go into another room, pop back in, and praise her for not falling totally apart.
Remember that it's just a phase.
Whether those tearful tantrums last weeks or months, they will go away. But like everything else in childhood, expect the unexpected. Development is less of a straight line than it is about peaks and valleys, says Pantley. A baby who's never had separation anxiety can develop it in preschool. A toddler may go through a bad patch forever, then surprise you by running off without a backward glance. Whatever you have to go through, just remember this. You've taught your kid to handle his emotions and fears—and that will get him through a lot
