Angelina: it is v normal for children to cry when gg to sch, cos they know u r dropping him off n going off.. to them its like u "dowan" them.. jus lkeave them dere n byebye!.. so for me, i make it a point.. everyday i send Jav to sch, b4 i go i will always tell him "later mummy(or daddy) will come n pick u ok.. u be good boy ya, love u." n i will gif him a kiss or hug n den he'll go in w teachers.. its like telling him u r not abandoning him, jus letting him go there to learn n play.. wad i do at hm every night, i will always ask him "u love mummy? u love daddy? u love didi? u love sch?" n aft each qn he'll normally nod his head except for the last one.. he'll shake his head.. but i'll always tell him "yessss u love sch.. sch is fun, can play toys, do artwork, sing songs, play gym n mum mum!" den he'll listen n smile n nod his head when i ask him again.. its a matter of getting used to it n routine.. maybe u can try my method n see if it works..
im considered lucky tt Jav doesnt cry in the first few weeks..BUT he started crying on e 3rd week, when he returned to sch aft beng sick n absent for 1 week..n refused to wear uniform.. but i don force him too much, i'll try at most 2 times jus bluff him a lil, if he accepts, i'll wear..if not, i will nt force him to wear.. jus wear home clothes n tell e teacher hes nt willing tt morning.. teachers normally will accept esp for kids their age n as a newbie too.. even till nw, 2 weeks hes been back in sch aft his sickness, he still cries on some occasions n refusing to let me go..n wld even throw himself backwards on e floor when the teachers try to carry him away frm me.. i will always talk to him nicely first den let then teachers carry him.. N if u notice, children might haf some 'fav' teachers.. Jav refuses to let e china teachers carry, but whenever he sees the malay one, he will automatically reach for her.. so mayb u can try finding which is the tchr tt plays alot of Josh n normally its easier for her to take over frm u..=)) i und yr feeling, sure feel upset when u see yr child crying so badly, tt time i wanted to jus carry jav hm aft seeing him crying..but i know he mus get used to it de.. so, e best way is say byebye, kiss n go.. don stay on dere.. e longer u stay the worse they will cry.. when i used to work in cc, we always ask the parents to say byebye n go or jus sneak away frm dropping cos children will jus forget abt it once they don see their parents arnd n will join in the other children.. =) tk care. do join us for the gatherings la..hehe, i also bjorn Jay liao..jus bot only..=P
