First day at the childcare centre

The beginning of school marks many and important changes in the children’s lives. They begin to be deprived of their parents’ complete presence and care, as well as safety which they gave them so far and they begin to create new relationships, gain experiences outside the family and interact with new people. More specifically, the children are called to face and adapt to a new environment, but also to adapt to it away from the safety of their home. New people are coming into their lives, like their teachers and the other children in their group, with whom they will have to share their toys, but also the attention of the teachers. Every child has a different way of reacting to those changes and parents can be very helpful in that demanding period of time for the child by following some simple instructions of a child – psychologist.
