As children grow older, they need to leave their parents' arms and enter kindergarten to start a new life. However, many parents worry that their child will cry badly because of the separation when their child is about to start kindergarten. So, how should we deal with this situation as parents?
First, we need to understand why children cry. Children live with their parents until they enter kindergarten, and their dependence and trust in their parents is very deep. When children enter kindergarten and are faced with an unfamiliar environment and strange people, they will develop fears and insecurities, which will lead to crying behavior.
In response to this situation, we can take the following measures:
1.Communicate with your child ahead of time. Before the child goes to kindergarten, we can communicate with the child and tell them why they want to go to kindergarten and what fun things are in the kindergarten. In this way, children can become interested in kindergarten and reduce the fear of the unknown.
2.Help your child build trust. Before the child goes to kindergarten, we can take the child to visit the kindergarten so that they can understand the environment and facilities of the kindergarten. At the same time, we can meet with the child's teachers and classmates, so that the child feels cordial and friendly.
3.Give your child enough love. After our children start kindergarten, we need to give them enough love and support. After the children are out of school, we can ask them about their kindergarten so that they can feel cared for and loved by their parents.
4.Encourage your child to express their feelings. When children cry because of separation, we need to listen patiently to their feelings and encourage them to express their feelings. At the same time, we can tell our children that we miss them too, but that they need to go to kindergarten to learn new knowledge and skills.
5.Give your child appropriate rewards. When children are doing well in kindergarten, we can give them appropriate rewards to boost their self-confidence and motivation.
In conclusion, as parents, we need to understand why our children are crying and take measures to deal with the situation. By communicating in advance, building trust, giving affection, encouraging expressions of affection, and rewarding appropriately, we can help children better adapt to kindergarten life and reduce their separation anxiety and crying behaviors. At the same time, we also need to understand children's emotional needs and developmental needs, and give them enough support and attention.
