Each of these do you find it very difficult to take your child to kindergarten? Does your child plead with you on the way? Do you start each day with the troubles and struggles of sending your children to kindergarten? So what should you do when your child refuses to attend kindergarten?
Find out the roots of your child's refusal to go to school
The truth is, it's not that your kids don't want you to let them go. The thing to consider is why your child doesn't want you to leave.
Once you find the root of this problem, you can deal with it right away. This is the only way you can solve a problem and start a new day.
The baby squeals when you take them to kindergarten
Is your baby sick?
Is your child sick? There is no place as comfortable as home, especially when you are not feeling well. This may explain why the child refuses to go to kindergarten but wants to be cared for at home.
The baby was bullied
Is your child afraid of another child in kindergarten? Bullies are of all kinds and of all ages. It's hard to believe that a 3 or 4 year old child could scare another kid. But anything can happen.
Talk to your child's teacher. The teacher can warn you about things without even knowing how to name. Besides, the teacher should also be warned about the situation that is going on.
Parents are also the reason why children are afraid of going to kindergarten
The baby is afraid of the teacher
Is your child afraid of the teacher? No parent wants to think about this, but it happens sometimes. Let's find out.
You can ask questions of your child, but try not to ask like investigating them. Talk normally and this will help your child to open up. Also, parents need to be mindful of the times when you take your kids to school and pick them up.
The baby does not want to be away from parents
Is your child just sad about breaking up with his mother? Does your child try to sit in the car for as long as possible, look out the window or stare at the school gate? Is your baby sick? What to do to stop crying?
The child feels anxious and lacks confidence in outside contact
In the event that your child or family has gone through a period of stress or even a parent moves away, or someone dies. Your baby will feel fear and a loss of confidence.
Did you take a break from work and it is time to return to work after a year or two, or even 3 years with your kids? Maybe you upset your child's once peaceful world.
If you are concerned about your child asking for you at daycare, you should also feel your baby's feelings about having to change if she returns to work.
What to do when a child refuses to attend kindergarten?
If going to kindergarten is your baby's “time-stealing enemy”, your baby needs other time with you. Spend time with your child.
Please be patient. You need to have patience to slowly let your child understand and gradually accept.
Need to show consistency. Don't think that “I'll be back” or “Don't worry about me” will be enough to comfort your child. Your child doesn't have a time concept yet so if you say you come back, your child will wait for you every minute.
Do not leave too suddenly. Slowly, kiss your baby, hug your baby and go. Do not try to force your child to sit in school .
Take time for your baby. All your child has with you is mealtimes, sleep times, bedtime stories. Your child will be happy with those times.
Encourage but also consistent with your child
If you can see that your baby's little hands are clinging to your neck or pulling you and begging you to stay, they will be the same hands that will pull you out of the mall when they 12, 13 years old.
So my advice is to be patient, rest assured, talk to your child. Because not long after, in the not too distant future, you will again hold your child's hand, wanting to pull back as they grow up and fly away.
