Insertion to the nest

For a child between 6 and 12 months old, the nursery is a new world. And it is for everyone: separating can be difficult even for parents! Here are some practical tips for dealing with placement: - talk to the child about the nursery even if he is small, using simple words: “there are games here, we'll come back tomorrow.” - bring with you a familiar object, a so-called “bridge-object”: a puppet, a piece of cloth or a photo that help maintain emotional continuity.- Trust the educators and also listen to your emotions.- when it's time to leave it, keep routines short and predictable: enter, say hello, hand it to the educators, then go out. Repeating the same steps gives the child confidence, because this way he will learn to predict the next steps and he will understand that you will return. - never disappear suddenly: always say hello. Even if he cries, it's normal. - at home, he recounts the day he lived (“you played with water”, “you saw other children”).
