Read our tips to make your transition a little easier!<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Relax: Your child can pick up on your emotions, and if you are stressed, sad, or frustrated they can sense it. Relax, and share your peaceful mood with your child.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Establish a routine: Try to make the morning routine consistent, and familiar for your child. A routine lets your little one know what to expect, and eases fears.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Don\u2019t linger: Drop-off time should be just that, and if you linger for longer on certain days, it will be harder for your child to say goodbye. A quick kiss, hug, and \u201cI love you\u201d is a great way to leave.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Expect tears: Don\u2019t be surprised if your little one sheds some tears (even after weeks of being fine). Tears are an easy way for kids to express themselves, and kids can quickly shake off the tears and start playing. <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bring something from home: If your child has a special animal, see if they can bring it to daycare. A familiar stuffed animal can ease the transition from home.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Communicate: Touch base with your child\u2019s teachers to find out how long their crying lasted, or to ask other questions. Great communication between you and your child\u2019s teacher will make their experience better.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/growingkids.com\/contact-us\/?uxi_preview=1\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"no-wp-caption aligncenter wp-image-4057 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/growingkids.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/cta-1-592ee815d3112.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1500\" height=\"250\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At Growing Kids Learning Centers we understand that dropping your child off can be a traumatic experience for both kids and parents.
