It is natural to feel upset when you leave your child at nursery initially
You have spent months or years caring for their every need. You are likely to feel a mixture of emotions including sadness and guilt but this is entirely normal. To prepare yourself and your child for starting nursery we recommend the following:
Rychych wedi treilio misoedd neu blynyddoedd yn carcio am eu bod angen. Fyddwch yn teimlo cymysgedd o emosiynnau yn ogystal a tristwch ond mae hyn yn hollol normal. I paratoi eich hyn am eich plentyn i ddechrau'r meithrinfa rydym yn argymell y cannlynnol:
• Familiarise your child with being left with others such as grandparents or friends. This will allow your child to adjust to not spending all their time with you and build their confidence to spend time with others in new settings. • Take your child to playgroup so that they get the opportunity to mix with other children. • Ensure that your child attends the free nursery trial session so that they have some familiar faces before starting. • Experience has shown that the more frequently a child attends the sooner they settle. Ysgubor Fach would recommend that your child attends at least twice a week. One day a week is unsuitable for babies as they seem to forget all about us in the seven days between sessions. • Don't let your child see you are upset when you leave them. Children are very sensitive to your feelings and this can cause distress and insecurity in the child. We have found that a cheerful goodbye and cuddle in the hall is the best way. • Occasionally we have parents who wish to settle their child in the child's room themselves. We have found this to be counterproductive as the child will not socialise with the other children if the parent is there. Also it is confusing for the child when the parents stop doing this. • If your child is upset a member of staff will cuddle them and reassure them until they have settled. • It is perfectly normal for children to cry when being parted from their parent. At Ysgubor Fach this is short lived and by the time the parents' get into their car they have normally stopped. • Discuss any concerns you have with the staff. • Please ring as many times as you want to. We want you to be reassured and happy as well as your child. • You will get regular pictures throughout the day, sent on our EYLog. This will help to reassure you that your child is having a lovely time with us.
•Triwch cael eich plentyn I fod yn gyarwydd a gael eu adael gyda eraill fel mamgu a dadcu, teulu neu ffrindiau. Fydd hyn yn helpu eich plentyn I addasu I ddim danfon pob eiliad gyda chi a I helpu nhw adeiladu eu hyder I hal amser gyda eraill yn lleoliad Newydd. •Ewch a’ch plentyn I grwp chwarae er mwyn iddynt cael yr siawns I cymysgu a plant eraill. • Sicrhewch fod eich plentyn yn mynychu’r sessiwn setlo I fewn sydd am ddim, felly y gallant cwrdd a gweld peth gwynebau cyfarwydd cyn dechrau. •Mae profiad wedi dangos, y mwyaf mae plant yn mynychu’r feithrinfa y fwy cyfarwydd ma nhw yn ymgartrefu. Rydym yma yn Ysgubor Fach yn argymell eich bod yn danfon eich plant o leiaf dwy waith yr wythnos. Mae un diwrnod yr wythnos ddim yn addas i babannod, ga neu bod wedyn I fwrdd o ni am saith diwrnod a ma nhw yn anghaofio ni. •Triwch peidio gadael eich plentyn rich gweld yn ddigalon pan rydych y neu gadael. Mae plant yn sensitif iawn i’ch teimladau ac mae hyn yn gallu eu achosi nhw I gynhyrfu. Rydym wedi gweld fod ta-ta hapus a cwtsh yn y mynedfa yn fordd dda. •Weithiau, mar rhai rhieni yn gofyn I ddod mewn I’r feithrinfa I setlo eu plentyn, rydym yn argymell beidio neud hyn gan wedyn mae’r plant ddim yn setlo ac yn cymysgu gyda’r plant eraill. Mae hefyd yn dryslu nhw pan mae’r rieni wedyn yn gadael y plant. •Os mae’ch plentyn yn ddigalon, fydd aelod o staff y rhoi cwtsh iddynt ac y eu sicrhau nhw tan eu bod wedi setlo. •Mae yn hollol normal I plant I llefen pan maent yn gadael eu rhiant.
