**Example:** My child is having a hard time at drop-off after a long summer vacation with no child care. Does anyone have any advice on how to handle the situation?

 * Response:** The same thing happened with my child last year! He was very attached and screamed and cried. It made the transition even harder, and I didn't want to leave him. I began by telling him in the car on the way to school that soon mommy was going to have to leave and go to work. If he started fussing then, I would calmly remind him that I would be back by lunch to pick him up. We would talk about all of the fun things he does at school, his friends, and other happy memories. At drop off, I would help him get situated and leave. After a week or so, the crying stopped and it worked! Now our transition is much easier for child and me!
