This is so common, and it’s often harder on us than it is on them! The best strategy is to create a short, sweet, and consistent goodbye routine. A quick hug, a kiss, and a confident “I’ll be back after your nap!” can work wonders. The key is to not linger, as that can signal to your child that you’re unsure. Trust that their teachers are experts at comforting them and redirecting their attention to a fun activity the moment you leave.
