During adaptation to the kindergarten, many different everyday and communication problems arise. Help your child find the right solution and way out of these 5 most common situations
Baby wet himself
In preschool age, such situations arise when the child is too keen on the game - he simply forgets that he wants to use the toilet. It is also possible that he was ashamed to ask to go to the restroom and endured to the last.

How to react? The child should not be punished categorically. The kid needs support. Your task is to explain that going to the toilet is not a shame, everyone does it. You can turn to the teacher - quietly say in your ear that you need to go out. Also explain that you need to go to the toilet when asked to do so, even if you don't really want to.
In new locations (at a party, cafe) remind your child to find out where the toilet is in order to avoid an accident. Teach you to do this delicately, without attracting the attention of others.
The child does not eat well in the kindergarten
There may be several reasons for the boycott. The first one is adaptation to the kindergarten accompanied by stress, and the child refuses to eat. He also loses his appetite if he misses his mom. Second, the kindergarten menu differs from the home menu.
How to react? You shouldn't promise your child a treat if he eats in the garden. Try to better incorporate the kindergarten menu into your home diet. On weekends stick to your meal schedulelike in an educational institution. If the reason for poor appetite is adaptation to the garden, try giving your child something of your own, for example, a scarf to make it smell like mom.
The child dresses slowly
Here you need to understand why this is happening. Perhaps the child is waiting for the adult's nerves to fail and he will dress him himself. Perhaps the baby is distracted by toys, or he is simply sleepy.
How to react? Try not to get nervous! Yes, the child is late for the garden, and you are for work. But superfluous psychos are not needed by anyone. Remove all toys from the child's field of vision and give him a task. For example, put on shoes. And leave the room. Try to stick to your daily routine. Go to bed and wake up at the same time. Firstly, the child will have an internal alarm clock, and secondly, in the morning he will be vigorous.
The child does not want to go to the garden in the morning
If the baby just went to the garden, then morning tears are completely understandable. He did not adapt to the new conditions.
How to react? Always tell your baby that you will definitely come back for him. Speak specifically when you pick it up - after sleep, lunch, etc. Think about what you will do when you return home - go to shop, will sculpt, etc. Be sure to demonstrate to your child that you are good to the caregiver, communicate with her, and trust.
The child does not sleep in quiet hours
The child may not sleep in the kindergarten due to the unstable regime at home and he has enough night sleep.
How to react? Ask the provider to sit with the child for a while while he falls asleep. Give something to make you feel at home - a favorite toy or a blanket. If you know for sure that he will not sleep, agree with the teachers - let the child do something for a quiet hour. Well, if this contradicts the rules of the garden, then you will have to pick up the child before lunchtime.
The child has no friends
If a child says that no one is friends with him in the kindergarten, then this is how he tries to attract attention.
How to react? Check with the teacher if this is really so. Perhaps the child does not have enough vocabulary to connect with other children. Or does he still lack parental attention? Also, the child may simply not be able to wait, because at home he is used to being number 1 and the center of attention. Explain that you need to negotiate, initiate the game yourself, or wait until it is his turn to play toys. Tell us about the athletes in the competition. Someone one takes the first place, while others do not get upset, but analyze the mistakes and make appropriate conclusions.
The child cries and drops objects when he doesn't get what he wants.
The child does not know how to express emotions otherwise, when something is forbidden to him or to something persuaded. There are rules in the garden. For example, you need to wash your hands after walking. At home, you can persuade, but in the institution there is no time for this. Naturally, the child will push back, and the objects that are at hand will enter the entrance.
How to react? Teach your child to express feelings in other ways. For example, say that you are angry. Explain that no one wants to help someone who is yelling or throwing objects. Try to set rules at home for the whole family. Especially if grandparents live with you. They often give way to the requirements of the baby, and all discipline goes to smarmy.
