Yes the time has come for her to start going alone to the school. We have been doing mom n me program for a while now and from next week onwards she will achieve the biggest milestone for this year. A little worry over leaving mom or dad is normal, even when your child is older. You can ease your child’s separation anxiety by staying patient and consistent, and by gently but firmly setting limits.

I wanted to share my views on how i weaned Mishi off when she started going to school and how i will plan to wean Mia off as well.

1. Like they say practice makes a man perfect, practicing this makes ur toddler also a little better in terms of what is happening? Don't give up easily. Try till the 10th time doing the same task.
.
2. Try and have the same schedule. Try to do the same drop-off with the same ritual at the same time each day you separate to avoid unexpected factors whenever you can.;Ur child might not be ok with leaving you when its time to eat or even poop!
.
3. Discuss and make ur child aware what will happen. Trust me our kids are able to understand what we are trying to say. Talking might help in knowing what they are really afraid off or why they are not comfortable leaving you.
.
4. Talk to the teacher or care giver and help them understand ur child more. For eg. Mishi loved to dance and so she left my hand as soon as ma'am played music and forgot about me. It could be anything, there favourite food, favorite book, any toy or doll.
.
5. Meet or send ur kids for play dates with other kids from there class. They will relate to them and it will be much easier for them when they see familiar faces.
.

I believe each and every kid is different and there is not universal approach to wean off a parent.
Its even more difficult for working mom's to leave there kids in a creche or at home only if u have a job which requires a lot of travel.

Please add ur pointers, if you have any, to help any struggling mommy like me!😊
