how do i get my 3 year old to go to school by herself? She wants me to stay in class with her all the time.?

Answer 1

Tell her after school you'll go out for dinner or ice cream or to the park so she can catch you up on her day. Point out that if you stay with her all day, she will have less to tell you because you already know everything she did.

Answer 2

Hi,

I have a 3 year old that goes to preschool and know what your going through. She actually started when she was 2. We had some time in there where she wanted me to stay. First talk to your child and find out what are the reasons..(maybe there is something that bothers him/her that can be an easy fix) if its just the mommy cling problem the best..not easiest but best thing to do is DON'T STAY!! realllly i would hand my daughter off and my heart would break as she called out and cried and tried to get to me...but as the teachers said..she stopped immediately and happily played once i was gone...after the first few weeks of that..she stopped doing it...she realized i would come back and that she really was having fun at school. I had a friend that would always give into her daughters pleas to stay and ended up staying later and later and later each time and eventually the teachers just told her to leave cause it was actually making it harder on her child. It's hard to hear your child cry for you..but if you know its a safe preschool and that the teachers are caring..then go ahead and leave it doesn't make you a bad parent. Preschool is great and your child will love it once they can give it a chance. My daughter is now almost 4 and hates weekends cause she can't play with all her friends..she begs for "scoo" haha..

Answer 3

Ask if you can come a couple of minutes early before class starts, ask her to show you some things she likes in class, then let her know you know she will have a great time and you will be back (after lunch, for example), kiss her goodbye, and then leave. No big drama goodbye, just leave. Let her know she has things to learn in class, and mom has things she needs to take care of at home. The first couple of weeks may be rough (especially for you), but she soon will settle. You can leave your number for the teacher, or maybe you can stay down the hall out of sight (don't let your child know this!) and see how long it takes for her to calm down. Let the teacher know if you will do this, and see if the teacher can come down and let you know how she is in a few minutes. I think this hurts mom more than anything! but, if this is for a half-day part-time preschool program this is a great time for mom to get a break.

Answer 4

I switched my daughter to a new preschool when she was 3 and at first she was doing the same thing. The teacher gave me her cell phone number and told me to call her at any time to check on my daughter. When I left, she would cry miserably. I would call an hour later and her teacher would tell me, she stopped 3 minutes after you left. So ask the teacher if there is a number that you can call for just a few days to make sure she is ok after you leave her. I wouldn't advise asking to speak to your daughter though as this could upset her and get her started again.

Answer 5

Definately the best way to do it is to take her direct to one of her teachers/carers, Give her a kiss and tell her Mummy is going now but I will see you later (whatever time it is you go back). Then leave. She may scream the place down but talk with her teacher you will probably find that she settles very quickly once you have gone. I used to hate it when my kids did this, stangely enough though, they were always happy and smiling when I went back for them in the afternoon, with no trace of the mornings tears. Eventually you will be the one that is upset! One day your daughter will run off to play and you will have to chase her down for that kiss goodbye! Persevere, you will get there.

Answer 6

For one thing WHY is your 3 year old in school ???
Here, in Arkansas, they do not require children to go to school
until age 5. I've also lived in several other states that have the age 5 requirment.
Many children aren't ready emotionally for school until age 5.
Thats why many states have gone to the age 5 requirement.
These fancy preschool's that parents have too pay for are a waste of money, in my opinion.

Answer 7

Our school recommends that when you drop off the little ones that it's best to do it quickly- just a quick hug and kiss and tell them you'll see them soon. They say the longer you stay the harder it is.

Try it and just get out of sight and listen to see if she calms down.

Answer 8

Be real nice to her like say mommy gone bye u some ice-cream.
Kids always fall for that!

Answer 9

Use a reward chart. Have the teacher bring him/her in the classroom.Trust me
