It is better to sweetly and confidently say goodbye to the child and leave the kindergarten, without haggling and negotiations. The child, once he knows you are going to leave, will cry until you do. So it is better to hasten your departure and contact the daycare by phone a little later to make sure that he has calmed down. Most of the time, a few minutes after the parent leaves, the children immediately stop crying.
Don’t try to compare it to other children who don’t cry and have already adjusted. Every child has a different rate of adjustment and by comparing them to other children you show that you do not consider their feelings.
Don’t leave daycare without saying goodbye, thinking he won’t understand. He’ll be even more upset if he finds out you just dropped it and left without saying anything.
Finally, when you go to pick up your child from daycare, don’t forget to express your joy and pride in his new beginning.
