what I do if a child is having a difficult time leaving there parent is to tell the kid all the awesome stuff they are gunna do that day and that mommy has to go do something important and when she comes back you can tell her about all the cool things that you did that day like your craft.

1. find something for the child to do such as color or play with some toys 2. comfort the child letting them know that their parents will be back, and you will take care of them. 3. encourage the parent to communicate with their child. 4. the peal and stick method... i learned this when doing a VBS a few years ago... if the child is still having trouble separating from the parent after a while, peel them off the parent and stick them to a caregiver. sometimes its the only way to get a child to let go of their parent. After some comforting, the child is fine.

Talk with the family member that drops off the child, to make sure they can help prepare the child for drop off. I would hold and comfort the child and reassure them that their family member will be back.

I would ask the parents to talk to the child throughout the week so that the child can expect what will happen. I would also encourage the parents to stay a few minutes with the child and show them the surrounding while reassuring them that they will be back to pick them up soon.

I would offer reassurance to both the parent and child, advise the parent to be calm and happy and leave quickly, then allow the child to do whatever they feel comfortable doing until they're used to the routine.

When a child is having a hard time separating from their family, I like to comfort the child and provide them with other options. First, I try to gather more information about why the child is upset to begin with and try to address that. Then, I want to try and distract the child by presenting them with different activities and materials around them. Finally, I would probably give the child space and seek advice from both their family and other people around me.
