Reception drop off

Hello,

My 4 year old has just started reception. He was in a preschool of a different school before but we moved him to be in the same school as his Brother which is nearer our house (walkable rather than driving). He was really settled and happy in his old school, which was tiny. I know it’s early days but he’s so sad at drop off everyday and is being peeled off me. He seems really anxious and generally sad.

What should we do? Is there anything that helps with this? I’m considering moving him back but it’s so difficult having two in different schools as they need to be there at the same time!

He will get over it! Memory fades! Talk in positive terms about his teacher and start seeing who might come round for a play date. He’s obviously a bit reluctant but talk positively about school and what he’s doing - you know the school!
