  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!)
I have a little one that does the same thing every morning when I drop her off a daycare. It's a security thing! They need I feel safe and secure. Mommy is the best thing they have. With my daughter, I send her with her favorite blanket or small stuffed animal. These are the next best from mommy. I can imagine the crying would get annoying but the child is probably scared. Maybe welcome him with a small hug and ask him to come play with a you on a puzzle or something. He has to feel welcomed and at home. Maybe suggest to mom that he brings a small blanket or stuffed animal to help him relax.

Comments: I do not feel this would be the best solution for me as a teacher. We discourage students from bringing outside toys or blankets to school. They can be a distraction from class that you may never be able to take away without them crying. I teach a preschool class and as soon as one student notices something another student has or does, they want it as well. This in itself can create a whole different issue.

Comments: I like the idea of having a comfort token with them at school to address the emotional security. I would try asking that of the parent or finding one for the child myself.

Comments: I agree with this - letting the child bring something he feels comfortable with could lessen the anxiety and make him feel more secure. It also goes a long way to greet students with a smile and happy attitude!
