My daughter is 6 years old, she goes to kindergarten. I have noticed for some time that she is tearful. Cries when things go wrong and when she is afraid. She is also not very self-confident, always stops at the end, lets other children pass by and would give up everything - she does not fight for hers like other children, she prefers to leave and cry. There is no breakthrough. It all happens outside the house, it is completely different at home - she sings, dances, performs for us, sometimes even yells at us. How should I proceed? Regards
Kasia! This is where personality factors and the immunity of the nervous system play a role. Presumably, your daughter is a very sensitive child. She needs more time than her peers to get used to the new, strange school or preschool world. He cries out of helplessness. In this way, she releases too much tension for her. She behaves differently at home, she is relaxed because she feels safe. She knows that she is loved, accepted and has a strictly defined place in the family. There is no such thing in the "kindergarten" group. She is shy, so the harder it is to adapt. Help at the moment can come mainly from the tutor. Talk to her about it. Ask her to pay more attention to her daughter (e.g. where she is standing, what she does, what is her face), more often praise her even for small things, give her independent tasks (e.g. ask for help in distributing crayons or drawings to the children) and help in establishing friendships and better contacts with the group. A good educator understands this and knows how to help children. Good luck. B.
