After being away from his parents in the kindergarten for a full eight hours, he will definitely feel disappointed and will Resistance, want to be with mom and dad.” Therefore, when a child says, “Mom, I don’t want to go to kindergarten,” the parent’s answer is crucial. 1.

They are accustomed to the warmth of family and the company of their parents. When they suddenly come to a strange environment and face strange teachers and children, you can imagine how uneasy they feel. At this time, we need to give our children more understanding and patience, so that they can feel our care and support. 2. Four Steps to Relieve Children\’s Anxiety 1. Resonate with the child When faced with a child\’s crying, parents should not blindly emphasize how fun the kindergarten is and how kind the teachers are, because these often do not resonate with the child. We might as well say this: \”Mom, I know it\’s not easy to go to kindergarten. Mom is not by your side, and you feel everything is different, right?\” This sentence is like a key, opening the door to children\’s emotions and letting them know Mom understands how he feels. When children gain emotional resonance, they are more likely to confide in their parents. Only when we understand the child\’s thoughts can we solve the child\’s problem in a further way. When children feel understood, their emotions will gradually stabilize. We can listen to them patiently and let them release their grievances and uneasiness.

We can start with a child.\” Once you get to know each other, you will slowly make more good friends. \”In this way, children can gradually adapt to kindergarten life. 3. Encourage the child. After accepting the child\’s emotions, we must encourage the child and express our expectations. For example, we can say: \”It\’s not easy for you to insist on going to kindergarten.

But we don’t need to worry. It’s not that the child doesn’t want to go to kindergarten, but that he has suppressed it for too long. Finally, someone understands him, and his emotions can be fully vented at this time. Encouragement is the driving force for children\’s growth. When children hear our encouragement, they will have more confidence to face difficulties. We can give our children more encouragement in our daily lives to make them feel their own value. For example, when the child is dressing himself, we can say: \”Baby, you are great! You can dress yourself.\” Or when the child draws a picture, we can say: \”This picture is so beautiful. You are very beautiful.\” Be imaginative.\” In this way, children can gradually build up their self-confidence. 4. Be gentle and firm with your children.

We See you after school!\” After saying that, turn around and leave without delaying. In fact, after we leave, the children can quickly join the group. The reason why the child does not want to go in is to express his reluctance to leave his mother. Our gentleness and firmness will convey a sense of security to our children, letting them know that although their mother is not around, she will definitely come back. When parting from our children, our attitude should be gentle but firm. Don\’t be discouraged by your child\’s crying, and don\’t show impatience.
