Your preschooler's been happily skipping off to class for months. Now all of a sudden she sobs when you say good-bye. What gives? Occasional regressions into preschool separation anxiety are often triggered by a change, like a beloved teacher going on maternity leave. To calm your small fry's fears, solidify the rest of your morning routine by making a picture chart that shows exactly what she'll be doing to get ready for school. If anything will be different about preschool, like a field trip, warn your child in advance. Showing her that some things never change will help her handle transitions at school.
