This is especially common in children who are the only child in the family.
Preschool can be a traumatic experience for any child.
But if your child isn t particularly ready for preschool, it can be especially frightening. You should ask yourself a few questions when trying to decide whether your child is ready for preschool. You should ask yourself if your child is shy. Shy children don t always interact with children in the way they ll need to in preschool. You should try to encourage your child to be a bit more outgoing before enrolling her in school.
