Adaptation in Shining smile

Adaptation = gradual adjustment to a new social role.

Dear parents, we understand that the adaptation of your children in the playgroup is difficult for you.

However, if you want your child to socialise, you need to feel confident that this is the right thing to do, as getting the adaptation right is key to ensuring that your child feels safe, happy and ready for further development at nursery.

3 tips for proper adaptation of the child:

1. A short farewell: please do not prolong the farewell. Proceed quickly and with confidence so that the child does not see the uncertainty. With a quick morning handover, the child is usually at ease within a few minutes. When saying goodbye, be positive and reassure your child that you will meet again soon.
2. Favorite object: some children feel better if they can bring a favorite stuffed friend that reminds them of home to playgroup.
3. Regularity and consistency: very important and necessary. With regularity and consistency, adaptation improves every day. If the adaptation breaks down, we will start again from the beginning.

How children adapt

The first week you bring your child to playgroup in the morning and the moment he/she starts to remember you, we will call you and you will come and get your child.

The second and third weeks are individual for each child. For some children only the morning routine is suitable, some children can already manage the full day routine.

The whole process of adaptation, every day we consult with parents and adapt to the needs of the children.
