One of the most important milestones in a child’s life is their first day of school. For some children, the experience can be traumatic, since it will be the first time they are separated from their parents. For others, it will be met with wide-eyed wonder as they look forward to meeting their teachers, making new friends and learning many new things.

To prepare children for their first day of school and to ease the separation anxiety, the Little Angel Nursery Rhymes and Kids Songs channel on YouTube has created a video, “First Day of School,” which follows the first day of preschool of Baby John. The fun sing-along shows John getting ready in the morning, saying goodbye to his Dad and older brother and sister, and heading off to daycare with his mom.

According to Education Magazine, separation anxiety is a fairly common problem for children of preschool age, particularly during the first few weeks of school. Children may also experience separation after an illness, a vacation, or a long weekend when they have grown used to being at home for longer periods of time.

Experts recommend facing the experience without fear. Parents should expect to spend some time on the first day at the preschool until the child gets used to their environment. Also, parents should show their child affection, hugging and holding them so they feel secure before being left alone. It helps if a teacher is available to hold the child as you prepare to leave so they know they have someone they can depend on when you’re not there.

In the beginning, it helps if the child can ease into preschool by attending for a few hours a day before entering into a full-day program. Parents should additionally be positive and encouraging, reinforcing how fun and necessary school is. The “First Day of School” video on the Little Angel Nursery Rhymes channel is a great way to prepare your child for school and allow them to ease into the experience before the first day arrives.
