"The Kissing Hand",by Audrey Penn

I absolutely love this story! When I use to teach pre-school I would reed this story to my class on the first day of school. The story help to re insure children that going to school will be a new and fun experience and even though they are away from their mothers she is still thinking of them and loves them. After reading the story I would give each child a heart sticker or draw a heart on their hand with a red washable marker. Penn, Audrey. (May,2006) The Kissing Hand.

    Cherish,

    I have experienced the first day of daycare and school many times. My ex husband is a Marine and we moved a lot. I do not think any of the teachers used the approach you mentioned. They simply told me they would be okay after while and sent me on my way. Good thing I could watch them on video, otherwise I was a little taken back.
