Talk with teacher: If your child is having trouble separating, have a talk with your child's teacher (or the school counselor) and come up with a plan. It's pretty common. Most teachers have a system for gradual separation- shorter goodbyes, distraction to other activities, having a familiar item, some positive reinforcement for appropriate behavior.You may need to talk with a therapist if things don't improve.
