How can I lessen separation anxiety for my child?

Lessening Separation Anxiety

To help your child ease into being away from you on the first day of school or daycare, try drawing a picture of a happy face or kiss on your child's hand with permanent marker. Tell your child that if he gets sad or lonely he can look at the picture you made for him and remember that you will be there smiling at him at the end of his day.
