How to help with goodbyes
- Create a short, fixed routine: hang up the backpack, say hi to a favorite toy, and say goodbye.
- Keep goodbyes short and confident. A brief goodbye makes things easier for your child.
- Always say goodbye, even if your child is already playing. Don't slip away without a goodbye.
- Say goodbye together with the teacher, so she is close by as a safe figure.
- Let the staff know about any change at home, such as a move or a new sibling.
