Hi,
Sorry, forgot to check this ystdy after my post.
She is definitely going through separation anxiety. Her behaviour is exactly like my gal when I first put her in half-day CC when she was 3.
Actually, your gal is v young to attend school. If she is still reacting to school like this, then you may want to consider pulling her out if you can as it's already almost a month of crying liao
. For your info, I pulled out my gal fr her previous CC when she could not adjust to it by the end of the 1st month and put her in weekly enrichment classes where I can accompany her so that she can get use to the school and the teacher. And then slowly withdraw myself when she is more familiar with the people and the environment.
If you can't or don't want to pull her out, then you need to feedback to the school about what is happening to her at home ever since she started school and tell them that you are v v concerned. Discuss with the school to see what you can do to help her overcome her anxiety. Discuss also what the school can do to help your gal. Ask if you can sit-in behind since you cannot peep in. Position that you are trying to help the teachers manage your gal as well since the teachers must also be v vexed abt your gal's crying. Always think win-win. Talk to parents of other kids in her class to find out what is happening in class and whether they know how your gal is behaving during class. You'll be surprised to know that you can learn a lot from them. Can your kid tell you what she does in school? You can also find out from there. Then must piece the info from the different sources together to see if they gel. Don't be afraid to call up the school and ask when you are in doubt. In fact, I call up the teacher or go personally to talk to the teacher to ask abt my kid's behaviour almost every other day during this initial period, until I ascertained that my kid is ok. Besides wanting to know how my kid is doing at school, I also want to get to know my kid's teachers and let them know that I'm watching lor, so dun try to be funny....hehehe
.
Lastly, do remember that a kid cannot start to learn unless she stops crying. So if your purpose for putting your gal in school so young is so that she can learn something, then she is not doing it with all the crying going on. This is just my personal view, though there will be people out there who thinks that "Aiya, the kid is getting used to school lah...they will surely cry lor...you must harden your heart lor...they will stop crying when they are tired lah...and some will take 6 mths to settle down lah."
Hope all goes well with you and your gal. Good Luck!
