Due to the sudden change of environment, the children are confronted with an unfamiliar environment and teachers they do not know, and in the process of adaptation, they may show varying degrees of trepidation, anxiety, or fear.

There are the following types of dissociative anxiety.

The resistant child will cry incessantly when attending school and is reluctant to contact teachers and other children.

Slow-start children do not cry when they first start school, but after a few days, they would become reluctant to go to school.

Attachment children will cling to teachers, not get along with other children, do not like to participate in activities and are particularly afraid of being separated from adults.

This type of child will be calm in school, neither crying nor willing to interact with others, disengaging from the group and often spending time alone.

This type of child is unrestrained and undisciplined in school. They would also get into arguments easily.

How to get children through dissociative anxiety is a concern for parents. Here we offer you some suggestions and methods that will help your child to adapt to kindergarten life.

• Discuss Kindergarten Regularly with Child

Parents can tell the children that the school is a place where they can learn knowledge and make many new friends, thus inspiring them to attend kindergarten.

• Let Child Get Familiar with the Kindergarten

Parents can take the child to the kindergarten in advance so that the child can recognize places, such as classrooms and toilets, and meet teachers to reduce their strangeness.

•Read Books to Relieve Anxiety

Parents can read books such as Hello, Kindergarten, A Day in Kindergarten, and Tom Goes to Kindergarten with the child. Parents can also play school-related games with children at home to help them to feel good about school.

• Keep a Positive Attitude

It is important that all members of the family have a consistent attitude, supporting and encouraging the child to go to school. And parents should relieve the child with an optimistic attitude.

•Believe in Your Child

Parents should inspire confidence in the child and encourage him/her to make the lead in overcoming life’s challenges, believing that they are highly adaptable.

•Believe in Teachers

Parents should have optimism that the teachers have received professional training, understand child psychology, and are caring and responsible. The respect and trust of parents are the best way to recognize the teachers.

Parents could maintain the child’s good habits of eating regular meals and eating independently. Before starting the school year, it is recommended that the child eat lighter foods at home to ensure normal consumption of physical activities and to facilitate digestion and absorption.

Parents should remind the child to maintain good hygiene habits at home, such as washing hands when they are dirty and before meals, and rinsing mouths after meals.

Parents can adjust the child's routine to that of kindergarten, so that child will be used to live and studying in kindergarten.

To enable children to settle into a group life as soon as possible, parents should let the child do things like eating, brushing teeth, and putting on and taking off clothes as early as possible. 

Parents could also teach children some courtesy expressions such as “please”, “thank you”, “sorry” and “it doesn’t matter” as well as guide children to be humble and caring thus developing the social skills in making friends.

由于环境的突然改变，新入园的小朋友面对的是一个陌生的环境及素不相识的老师。在适应的过程中，小朋友会表现出不同程度的惶恐、不安或害怕，称为“入园分离焦虑”。

分离焦虑主要有以下类型：

入园时不停哭闹，与家长分别时情绪激动，不愿意放手，拒绝与老师、其他小朋友接触、抵触或躲避交往。

刚入园时不哭不闹，几天后表现出不愿意上幼儿园的畏难情绪。

依恋老师，不与其他小朋友相处，不爱参加活动，特别害怕与成人分开。

在幼儿园里表现平静，既不哭闹，也不愿意与人交流，脱离群体，经常独自静处。

无拘无束，不听指令，不守纪律，抢夺玩具，容易与人发生争执。

怎么让小朋友平稳度过分离焦虑期是每一位新生家长都关注的问题。在这里，我们为您提供一些建议和方法，希望能够帮助小朋友们更快地适应幼儿园的生活。

• 与小朋友经常讨论幼儿园

家长可告诉孩子幼儿园是小朋友学习本领、嬉戏玩耍的地方，能在这里玩到许多新玩具、结交许多新朋友，以此激发小朋友想上幼儿园的愿望。

• 提前熟悉幼儿园环境

提前带小朋友参观幼儿园室内、室外的活动场所，让孩子识记一些重要场所（如本班教室、厕所、活动场所位置等），认识幼儿园的老师，减轻孩子的陌生感。 

•让绘本帮忙处理分离焦虑

家长可与孩子一起阅读《你好，幼儿园》、《幼儿园的饿一天》、《汤姆上幼儿园》等绘本，也可以在家玩一些“宝宝上幼儿园”的情景游戏，让孩子对幼儿园生活产生好感。

• 调整心态

在孩子入园前，家里的所有成员都要态度一致，支持并鼓励孩子入园，要以乐观的态度和积极的情绪来影响孩子。

•相信孩子

家长要给孩子树立信心，引导孩子主动解决生活中的难题，坚信孩子是有很强的适应能力的。 

•相信老师

家长请相信幼儿园的老师都是经过专业培训，了解孩子的心理，富有爱心和责任心的。家长的尊重、信任是对老师最好的肯定。

保持孩子三餐规律、独立进食的好习惯。开学前建议孩子在家吃一些清淡的食物，既可以保证身体活动的正常消耗，又有利于消化和吸收。

良好的卫生习惯有助于孩子的身体健康，家长在家提醒孩子保持良好的卫生习惯，如小手脏了要及时清洗、饭前洗手、饭后漱口擦嘴等。

入园前，家长可按照幼儿园的作息时间调整孩子的居家生活作息，尽早达成与幼儿园的作息时间保持一致，提前为入园后的生活做好充分的准备。

为了让孩子开学后可以尽快适应集体生活，家长们及早“放手”，让孩子独立完成吃饭、刷牙、穿脱衣物等力所能及的事。

家长可提前教孩子们学会说“请”、“谢谢”、“对不起”、“没关系”等礼貌用语。

引导孩子在同伴间玩耍中学会谦让、关心与合作，教孩子知道如何正确地展示自己的本领，让孩子在交友中获得乐趣并锻炼交往能力。

平时不要唯孩子独尊，避免孩子只习惯于接受别人的关照。
