How can I help my toddler adjust to school separation anxiety?

Consistency is key. Establishing a 'goodbye' ritual—such as drawing matching shapes on your hands to touch when reunited—can provide comfort. Reading books like 'Llama Llama Misses Mama' helps normalize the school routine. Remember that the first week is usually the hardest; remain positive, reaffirm that you will come back, and be enthusiastic when you reunite to reinforce trust in the routine.
