Hi Maria- I love your tips and they are very timely. I admit I didn’t do tip number 2, 3 and 4 very well for my daughters first day last week at day care. I will be more mindful this week. I did breast feed her at daycare before I left and directed her attention to any fun. As she is only 11 months old I did find one of the staff to take her from my arms to give her some comfort and I ensured she was comfortable before leaving.
That’s Fantastic Maddy. You’re doing a great job, and so good you are open to learning more.
All the best with the transition. Look after your lovely self xx
Thanks got the great tips!
So glad they helped Liz 🙂

Awesome tips! I totally agree that being present with your child really helps them deal with their emotions a lot better. My son starts reception this week for the first time so I’ll be using all of these tips.
Thats wonderful Heidi. Sorry I just saw your comment. How is your son going? Did the tips help with his first weeks?
