Does anyone elses kids have severe anxiety and seperation anxiety about going to school?
MY six year old son is having a hard time going to school. Like he will be fine until we walk out the door to go to school. Then it all goes downhill from there. ANd beforehand he will be like like is it time to go yet and be all excited so I am so confused lol. I have tried talking to him about it and he says he has friends and no bullies nothing bad. And when i pick him up hes fine and says he had fun and a good day. I am just at a loss of what to do in the morning so we can make it better. we have tried walking, driving him to school, and it all ends the same way a meltdown and advice or anything at all at this point lol would be grteatly appreciated

Hi i used to work at preschool and trust we had so many little ones that will completely loose it as soon as the parents will leave they will be like nothing happen 😩 lol. We will tell tbe parents to try the same goodbye routine and to not feel worry because it transfer the anxiety to the little ones, i love the picture strategy parents will give them a picture of the family they could hold for rest of the day or they could hold something special that he knows your coming back for them.

Yes hopefully it works! 🥰

Maybe his excitement also comes from anxiety? Does he maybe need a calmer morning? Or maybe make a stop before school everyday so he isn't associating leaving the house with school anxiety? Have you talked to his teachers about how he is when he arrives?
