Children have different reactions to having their parents in the classroom.  Some children become more shy and want to stay close to their parents.  Some children feel proud and excited; they may have a difficult time controlling their bodies or listening.  Some children seem to behave exactly as they do when their parents are not present.  Generally, children adjust after a few “work days” and look forward to their parent’s time at preschool.  The teachers can work with the parents to facilitate the child’s adjustment and answer questions.
