I myself recently walked this path. Mothers I know often ask me the question, “How to adapt?” “From my experience, I can share two options: personal, when I was a child, and general, mine and my baby. I’ll start with the personal. I am the second child in the family, my older brother was very sick in childhood, so the fate of attending kindergarten was categorically decided for me : I was taken there at the age of 4.5. I went very calmly. I adapted quite quickly. Therefore, I am very grateful to my mother for such a decision. And now I share it with the child. 4 months before leaving maternity leave, I took my daughter to kindergarten, having read it before. a bunch of articles. We also read with her children’s books about kindergarten from the series “Zaykina’s school.” The first day we came together. My daughter liked it because we were together. But every day it became more difficult. The child realized that his mother was not around, but there were aunts who MUST obey. Those. doesn’t work, so I do what I want. There are other children who also need attention. Each time it became more and more difficult to tear her away from me. She didn’t want to go to that world. And how did the teachers want to help me here? Yes, very much It’s simple: they wanted to forcibly tear the child away, to which there was even greater resistance on her part and she clung even more tightly to me, while the crying intensified. I stopped such interventions by the teachers. And I think that the child needs to be calmed down, talked to him, and come to an agreement. And not to abandon him and leave. Again, questions arose with the regime. There were also pitfalls here: - my daughter woke up at 8 o’clock, and at that time I had to be in the garden. A solution was found, I took the child for a walk in the first weeks. Those. the baby woke up, calmly had breakfast and we calmly went to the garden. (Yes, I remembered that I had to tear my daughter away when I started taking my daughter to breakfast) - sometimes I had to bring her to 8, and also feed her at home. But that’s later.- While I was on maternity leave, and this is 4 months of the garden period, I did not take my daughter to the garden on Fridays. I saw how tired she was during these 4 days. I had to shift my work schedule in order to keep up and not rush. I can say that I adapted We have been together as a family for a year. During this year, we received suggestions from the child: not to go to the kindergarten, not to go to work for my mother; then realizing that I could stay at home if I was sick, my daughter often took advantage of this, saying: “Mom, can’t you hear me, I’m coughing, let's be home" I want to write that when choosing a kindergarten, choose the teachers who will be with your baby. But there are pitfalls here, you may not be able to guess whether your baby will like the aunt? I can say that there were difficulties, but a solution was found. I think that you need to listen to your baby. Good luck with the adaptation to everyone!
