Separation Anxiety

In the Fall, children often experience Separation Anxiety.  When parents leave their child with us in Pre K, the children may be sad or crying.  It is usually short lived.   It is best if parents give their child a hug and kiss, leave and let teachers deal with the tears.  Parents lingering prolongs the anxiety.  Once parents leave, the tears do not usually last long.  Children quickly get involved in play with friends and forget all about missing Mommy or Daddy.
