The document provides tips for parents on their child's first day of preschool. It is normal for both parents and children to feel uneasy about the separation. Parents should prepare mentally to accept what may happen and not make the day seem like a big deal. They should remain calm and not panic, as crying is how young children express themselves. Allowing a child to bring a favorite toy or pacifier can help them feel more secure. Parents can also help by having positive conversations portraying school as an exciting adventure. Honest communication with teachers helps them understand and care for each unique child.
