Hi there, I'm a full time working mom and new to this forum. My son is born in Sep 2008 and is now attending nursery class.
I came to this forum becos I need help.... sigh.
My son told me he doesn't want to go school and will cry everyday when my mom send him to nursery.
Teacher said he normally cried for at least 30 mins. Tehn when come to story telling, he sometimes will pay attention but when comes to interaction times, he doesn't really like to mix around with other kids.
Can someone please let me know how can I help my son?
If I send him to weekend classes like art class, will it help him to mix around with other kids?

both my girls are in full-day childcare, so i'm kinda familiar with your scenerio... there are kids in the sch who cry every morning when their parents leave them there. there were 1-2 who actually did that for like 1 year? so, it's actually kinda \"usual\" i guess. like ur son, most of them will calm down and stop after a while. it takes getting used too. i think mixing with other kids help, and a lot of constant encouragement from parents help too. keep enforcing the positives of going to sch, like how fun it is, how many frens he can play with, etc.

you can also try \"rewarding\" him with stuff like his fav snack or stickers, etc, for each day he \"improves\" in the morning routine. that could help. if using stickers, you can do a \"reward chart\" kinda thing? so he gets to paste the stickers, and at the end of each week, maybe he can get a treat of some kind? the chart works for my girls when i am trying to adjust their behaviour in certain areas.

just keep reinforcing the postive and encouraging him. positivity goes a long way!

hi everyone!
