[quote=Anonymous]My oldest kid had a really hard time with transitions and separations when he was young. He had a lot of anxiety. Talking about it too much for a long time before actually made it worse. I would not have talked about it at all until 2-3 weeks before it was happening and then done daily playing on the playground and some fun kindergarten stories. I would try to find any excuse to bring a paper into the office or go in and ask a question. I wouldn’t have him say anything, just bring him for the errand. I did this many years in elementary because he got just as nervous every first day of school again. It helped to have him set foot in the building with no one around with no pressure. For my kid, it would be worse if I stuck around. We would have to do a quick goodbye and promptly leave. [/quote]
