It is important to note that despite being positive, excited children will feel a surge of separation anxiety. That is normal as they step out of the comfort of their homes for the first time. Being away from the person or persons they were familiar with, to a completely new set of faces .They may cry or not want to go to school, this may happen for a day, a week or longer depending upon the child. This is also a difficult phase for the parent to see the child not enjoying or crying for such a long time. But the important thing to remember is to be strong and have trust in the school and the teachers. Have an open dialogue with the teachers or the school authorities who may keep you updated during the child’s settling- in period. And last but not the least, remember that the phase will soon pass and your child will be wanting to go back to school like every other child,every single day without any effort.
