The first time a child stays away from the parent is when he joins a playschool or kindergarten. It could create separation anxiety for both the child and the parent. If not dealt with care, this could result in the child developing a dislike towards the school. A little preparation is all that is required to make kids kindergarten ready.
Dr. Neelima Ranjith, neuropsychologist, explains various approaches to dealing with the situation tactfully. She is an Assistant Professor of Psychology at UC College, Aluva.
