On the first day of daycare parents sometimes are a nervous wreck. Particularly mothers, mired in guilt about leaving your little one in daycare for the first time.

If you are anxious then led your partner the task of taking the child to daycare. One simple tip to create a positive expectation is to talk the night before and create a fun routine for your child of getting their stuff ready for the next morning.

Once the first day arrives don't make the mistake of leaving your child without saying goodbye. Many parents try to sneak out and that's not the way to do it. Instead always maintain a proper attitude and be sure to kiss your child and remind him or her that everything will be fine and to have lots of fun with new friends. This positive attitude is everything those first few days and once they get used to it everything will be easier.

Ask your child if he had a good day and whether they met new children, made new friends and what kind of activities he participated in. Gradually your child will get used to your new routine and every day will be easier but you must start slowly and as the days pass they will begin showing increasing enthusiasm and interest.
