Heading off to preschool is an exciting time of exploration and independence! But if your child's eyes well up and their dimpled hands grab your legs in a death grip at drop-off time, know that your little one isn't purposefully trying to ruin your morning. He or she is experiencing an uncomfortable – even painful – transition from their beloved adult to a room full of new people. Fortunately, there are wonderful books that help prepare your child and ease their (and your!) anxiety. Five of our favorites:
The Kissing Hand by Audrey Penn
Llama Llama Misses Mama by Anna Dewdney
Owl Babies by Martin Waddel and Patrick Benson
The Invisible String by Patrice Karst and Geoff Stevenson
I Love You All Day Long by Francesca Rusackas
