Most transitions are painful, but this one is acute. Especially if the kid is 3 years old!
Half a day of school is fun as they come back home to have lunch and sleep, doing the very same things in school is a diffrent ball game. However there is hope..........
If you stick to the routine and tide over the first 2 weeks they actually start loving to go to school again. Here are some pointers to make this transition easier
Good luck !

If you stick to the routine and tide over the first 2 weeks they actually start loving to go to school again. Here are some pointers to make this transition easier
- Set a routine for everything regarding the kid and the school days.
- Make the mornings before school fun.
- Keep the kids updated on what to expect for the day, including snacks and lunch that you have packed.
- Wake up early and try not to rush through the morning.
- Don't hurry the kid through his breakfast or toilet/bath time.
- Before he leaves, tell him about the fun things he can do when he gets back in the evening.
- Stick to the schedule and keep sending him to school, he's bound to fuss for the first few days.
- Keep encouraging them to interact with their "friends" at school.
- Be strong and expect a few tears, the smiles will return in a few weeks time!!
Good luck !
