Music therapist from Humansa, Carol Cheung, shared creative techniques to ease children’s separation anxiety at a recent parent workshop. She recommended composing and singing personalised songs with lyrics reflecting parents’ plans to temporarily leave, to help children understand goodbyes don’t have to be unpleasant.
A VPP alumnus and current VEO parent also joined to share her experiences helping her child adjust to kindergarten. Other parents openly discussed their own challenges and were reassured effective solutions exist.
Stay tuned for more insightful workshops ahead!
