Adjusting to preschool

CHILDWISE
By RUTH LIEW

Children need time and understanding from parents to get used to the idea of attending preschool. 

SOME children have difficulty adjusting to preschool in the early days. They find it hard to cope with new friends, a larger group of children, new teachers, new routines and being away from home.

They would cry and protest every morning before starting school. This does not mean they cannot adjust to school. They just need some time and understanding from parents and teachers until they get used to the idea of attending preschool.
