Has he spent time away from you?
If your child has been cared for by a babysitter or a relative, he ll be better prepared to separate from you when he s at preschool. Kids who are used to being apart from their parents often bounce right into preschool with hardly a backward glance. If your child hasn t had many opportunities to be away from you, you might want to schedule some – a weekend with grandma, for instance, or a day with your sister and her kids.
But even if you can t work out your separation issues up front, don t worry too much. Many children leave Mom or Dad for the first time to go to preschool and they do just fine.
