What to do if your child is anxious when he or she just starts kindergarten

Baby learning needs to start from kindergarten, and mothers should pay close attention to their baby's mood. So what should I do if my baby is anxious about going to kindergarten? How can I make my baby love kindergarten? The following editor will introduce you in detail.

What to do if your baby is anxious about going to kindergarten

Believe in children: The first thing parents should do is to believe in their children, build their confidence, guide them to try to do things, and take the initiative to solve problems in life. Parents should firmly believe that children have strong adaptability, and as long as parents and teachers give appropriate help, going to kindergarten will be a happy thing.

Trusting teachers: Trusting teachers is also very important. When choosing a kindergarten, you should investigate the teaching level of the kindergarten. Once you have identified the teachers of the kindergarten, you should trust them. Kindergarten teachers are professionally trained, understand the psychology of children, and are very caring and responsible. Parents' respect, trust and cooperation will be a good motivation for teachers.

Don’t make negative suggestions: Parents, especially grandparents, may be worried about their children going to kindergarten, and they may show it intentionally or unintentionally in their words and deeds. Children are very sensitive, and they can easily experience kindergarten through their parents’ emotions. They will feel from the attitude of adults that kindergarten is not an interesting and safe place for children.

Fewer reminders and admonitions: Parents should not remind their children on the way to kindergarten to listen to the teacher, observe discipline, be polite, sing loudly and draw big. These excessive demands, prohibitions or advices will make children feel unable to meet the requirements and become anxious.

Familiarity with the kindergarten: Parents who have the conditions may wish to enroll their children in a parent-child class to let their children experience kindergarten life and become familiar with the kindergarten environment. Practice has shown that children who have attended parent-child classes rarely experience "separation anxiety".

How to send your baby to kindergarten

Create conditions to help children adapt to the new environment as quickly as possible. Before the child enters the kindergarten, parents can take the child to the kindergarten to play so that he can gradually become familiar with this unfamiliar environment.

Use stories and nursery rhymes to make children look forward to kindergarten life. Parents can consciously tell their children stories about kindergarten, let them know that kindergarten is a paradise for children and a place for them to learn skills, and make them full of beautiful visions of kindergarten life.

Encourage children to go out and socialize. Parents can use the method of letting children out and inviting them in to encourage them to socialize with strangers, especially with friends of the same age, in order to cultivate their social skills and sociability.

Cultivate children's basic self-care ability, such as eating by themselves, going to the toilet by themselves, etc., so that they can better adapt to collective life.

Take the initiative to contact teachers so that children can get to know the teachers before entering kindergarten, and help children develop a good impression and trust in the teachers.

Entering kindergarten is a major turning point in a child’s life. As long as they are guided properly, I believe the child will quickly adapt to the new life in kindergarten.
