Summary:

This article started with a crying problem, which was asked by a sad mom, because she is suffering from her child’s crying. The psychologist suggested some ways to solve this problem. First, she said that is a common problem when the children are going to school for the first time, so she said the children should get enough hours of sleep each night and when they wake up they have to eat a healthy breakfast; also, they can listen to the music in the car after they choose the song, because that can make them feel more control. Second, the mothers or parents have to monitor their reaction to minimize the anxiety for their children. Also they can deal with their children’s crying with hugging or kissing them to diminish their anxiety. Third, the parents can find some ways to make their children feel comfortable toward the school. For example, they can make some activity after the school or invite their classmates home so, the parents can create a good techniques to solve their children problems. If the children still cry after this effort, the parents have to take them to the pediatrician

Reaction:

Crying is a way for children to refuse anything. I agree with the writer when he said that the children are crying because this is the first time to go to the school, but there are some children who are crying in the school every day, so I think we have to research behind that to see the main reasons for that. After that we can solve it. Then if the parents could not solve it, they can go to the pediatrician. I think the writer said good ways to solve this problem, so I don’t have any comment about it, and I do not have any new way to add to it.
