She’s absolutely normal. I drop my four-year old daughter off at day care every morning. Only recently (past couple months) has she stopped crying and whining for me to stay.

Believe me, I’ve watched parents drop their kids at school. Even the most outgoing ones will have moments when they wail and scream for their parent to stay. And every single one of them recovers and goes to play within 10 minute after the parent leaves. If your child is really having problems, the teachers will tell you. And keep in mind she acts differently when she knows you’re there, including not participating. When you leave her, she’ll start participating.

The hardest part is on you, the parent. It’ll break your heart when you leave her, but believe me she’ll be fine by the time you start your car in the parking lot. Be strong.

One thing you can do to help is create a good-bye routine. For example, I always stay with my daughter for 5-15 minutes, then we always do 10 hugs-and-kisses by the door, and one more set while I’m halfway out. After a month of this, she cheerily waves goodbye and runs off to play.

Good luck!

She may just have a shy personailty, that won't change. You need to leave her at the school. If anything happens you can always go get her. By staying you're preventing her from experiencing preschool.

well the first thing is their isn't much u can do and the second is that she is used to being around u so it will take her a while to get use to these new people. Everyones different so I would just encourage her and get her involved with other kids her age more so she learns to not be shy around them.

It is generallly thought that shyness is a trait due to genetics so she will probably always be shy; she may however learn to deal with it better as she ages.

Has your daughter ever been to a babysitter or around other children often?? And do you have to go to the preschool with her and be there the whole time? it might be helpful (hard for you to do) to maybe leave for a little bit, so she knows she will be okay. As soon as she interacts with them, she will love it!

Totally ok!! give it 1 – 2 weeks and she’ll totally love it.
Keep her going so she doesnt have a lapse in communication.

My preschooler is very shy. Is it possible that she'll overcome her shyness through out hte school year?
Her first day of school is not that bad, she didnt cry but would always cling to me into the entire 2-hour class, the teacher allowed it for it is their 1st day, Today is her second day, i stayed at the back of the classroom where she can have a glimpse of me, other preschoolers can stand on their own. She’s only 3. She would look at me always. And she’s shy she wont participate in singing ,exercise,. she’s so shy. will she be able to cope up with this. I told her its OK. Her other classmates are 4 y/o.
