How can i get my 4 year old son to walk into class?

Every morning my son cries and/or runs away when it is time to go into the before care classroom. He is not being picked on from any kids or teachers. He is in a really nice Christian School. He is just attached to me like crazy. He does this with my husband too, his daddy. He tells me every morning he does not want to go to school he just wants to go home. But when it comes time to pick him up from school....he is haveing a blast.

Instead of taking things away, try giving him a small reward each time he enters school without throwing a fit.....This works best with small kids. For example give him a star on a poster each time he behaves the way you want. Once he gets 5 stars give him a prize....like a hotwheels car..a trip to McDonalds for lunch....or whatever he likes .


My son used to do the same thing, and I've found the quicker the transition in dropping him off the better. Don't linger. I know it is hard, but he is really ok at school.
Reply:changellge him to go like ill race you to school or someting like that. distract him and make it seem like its fun for him. or let him know hey momy and dady gota go to school too the school where big people work so you gota go too so you can be big too.





sometimes you gota get on there playing level.
Reply:Talk to one of his best friends parents and see if you can make arragnments to where they can walk into school together. if he see's his friends letting go of their parents he may want to do the same thing so as to not look like a "baby" to his friend. this is how I got my daughter to go into her own room and now everyday we meet outside and let them walk into the school together they think they are so grown up holding hands and walking down the hallway by themselves(we are standing there watching of course). but its nice because i dont have to worry about her crying when she sees me walk away from the door because she is having fun before she gets to her room
Reply:Why would you take things away from him? Thats not going to help him feel better about going? If I were in your position, I would get permission to attend classes with him for a few days so that he can associate some security with the class like he gets at home. Also, I would attend as many school functions with him as possible so that you can show how much you like being there, and that its not a bad place.
