Separation anxiety: practising small goodbyes
Build familiar separations and know when prolonged distress needs support.
Prepare a reusable daycare checklist with quantities, packing assignments and notes.
Use the checklist for items your own childcare provider requests. Mark what is packed and note what needs replenishing. Keep individual feeding or care instructions in agreement with the provider, and update the list when routines change.
No universal supply list fits every provider. Edit the starter items to match your own provider’s instructions.
