Case: Why are you crying, Mommy will be back
There's a kindergartener that crys every morning whenever the student's mother drops them off. After about 10 minutes the student stops crying and is fine, but this does get annoying when this happens every morning. Is this something where the student is just young and needs to grow up a little or is this something where I need to have a meeting with the parents about? When asked, all the student says is that they miss mommy. Obviously the mother can't sit by the student's side all the time. What should be done?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
This is not unusual behavior for a kindergarten aged student, in fact . . . it's quite common, especially in the first few weeks of school. Many students at that age have never been separated from their parent, nor have they been in a social setting such as school or day care. Granted, this is changing due to VPK, but there are still many children who have not had either experience coming into your classroom, and that is okay. Being patient and nurturing will go a very long way with young students. Try and help the student get what they need to start the day and then give them space. Being overly attentive can sometimes make this worse. I would also make a note for the parent in their student planner to let them know that this is happening. Usually, this crying fits will gradually decrease and stop altogether within the first few weeks of school. However, if they do not stop, don't seem to be decreasing, or are getting worse, you may wish to have a conference and/or refer to guidance. |

| Comments: A young child crying after separation from their parents is normal. The child should be encouraged to make friends and participate in school. |
