Parent/ Child Separation

It is not unusual for a child to become teary when
separating from a parent in an unfamiliar situation.
Remember, this is a new environment with new faces. A child is bound to feel a little uncomfortable. Be encouraging. Your smile, eyes and body language communicate a lot. If a child senses any type of apprehension on your part, this enhances their own feeling of uncertainty. Separation is often harder on the parents than the child.
