Managing morning drop-off meltdowns can be challenging for parents, who often feel anxious and rushed. To help children feel safe, it's important to prepare them with a clear plan of what the day will entail. Parents should reassure their children with exact details of the morning routine. If parents exhibit anxiety, children may sense it and become more upset. Following through on promises during drop-off and keeping goodbyes brief can also ease the transition for children.
As humans, uncertainty just scares the s--- out of us. All of us feel so much better when we know what to expect.
Preparing your child for exactly what will happen throughout the day makes them feel safe. Having a plan is essential.
If we are feeling anxious or worried or scared, they're probably going to pick up on that energy.
