[quote=Anonymous]Try to get her excited about school. Library books about school, new school outfit, etc. Walk her in the first day, telling her how much fun she's going to have and how you can't wait to hear about all the great things she does at school. When you say goodbye, remind her that you'll see her later and then LEAVE. Don't linger at all; a teacher will handle her and help her transition into engagement with the classroom. You can look back, smile, and wave but keep walking away. She will stop crying within 5-10 minutes. The first few weeks may be tough, but you have to put on a strong face for her and keep emphasizing the good things about school. Good luck to you both! It's hard. :-)[/quote]
