What’s your goodbye ritual? 👋🏻😘👊

Chances are your child won’t be skipping away from you at drop-off. 😩

Let’s reduce the intensity of drop-off so you’re not pulling a clingy koala at drop-off time.

1. Prep your child
2. Have a ritual
3. Look forwards
4. The 3 C’s 

Still having trouble?

💓Move closer to the teacher or teacher’s aide. It might be helpful to share something positive about your morning and an interesting thing that happened for your child to engage in conversation with their educator.

“Pheobe built a magnificent tower this morning and even made a house for her toys; you could tell Miss Honey about it when you’re ready”. 

💓 Some children will need extra transition support in the morning, and that’s perfectly ok. It won’t be forever, even if it feels like it might be. Make a positive relationship with your child’s educators and chat with them via their requested communication channels. I.e. emailing to set a meeting. 

*Also note it usually takes children up to 6 weeks to settle into a new environment in my experience. Give it time. 

✨Ask for help. Work together. Ask what can be put in place. 

You’ve got this. I’m cheering you on ✨💓 

💙 Zoe
