“I’m going to miss you mom. I need you.”
My little girl has been so excited to start Kindergarten but the night before the first day, she was sad. It suddenly hit her she wouldn’t be with me all day and she shed quite a few tears.
I reminded her that she would still be with me every day, she was just taking some time to go learn and have fun. You know, the usual mom talk.
But what was the most helpful for her and my son was this bracelet idea.
See, although my daughter did get a little upset, it’s my son who has real separation anxiety. The kind that makes him nervous and shaky at school drop offs. The kind that keeps me sitting in the classroom with him walking him through deep breathing and relaxing so I’m able to finally leave.
So besides following some of the incredible advice from the Crush Anxiety course, is get two bracelets.
I wear one and they wear one.
Offering my kids something they can see and touch to remember that mommy is always with them and always thinking of them is really helpful. Them seeing me at drop off with it on reminds them that I’ll be thinking of them as well.
Seeing you wear it is especially helpful for kids that are worried you may forget to pick them up. I know a lot of kids get concerned they will get forgotten at pick-up, so you can show them that you will wear this bracelet so you don’t forget and set an alarm as well.
You can get any two bracelets you want and write out the note yourself. There are also a couple of sweet bracelet sets you can get on Etsy.
This one is my favorite because it’s blue so I know my son will like it! There is also a pretty mother daughter bangle set with your initials on it that I love.
However you combat school anxiety, I wish you a stress-free year with easy drop-offs!
If you are parenting a child with anxiety I really do encourage you take a look at Crush Anxiety. It’s an online course by a child therapist that specializes in kids anxiety.

I understand you perfectly, as a mother of two children I can say that this is actually a big problem that a parent faces, for me it was also hard to take my child to school, besides that my children hate to do writing, that’s why I resorted to argumentative essay typer, https://edusson.com/write-my-argumentative-essay, this was a very good idea because now my children are glad to go to school and the teachers are glad that the homework is done. I can’t say that this is good but it is also a tool with which you can encourage your child.

Many students feel anxiety at school and university. Especially when you need to solve many problems at the same time. In such cases, I turned to the nurses essay writing service and ordered the writing of a term paper or dissertation. In parallel, I could only complete small tasks. And with the help of the service, I did well in all subjects at the university.
