Into the Great Forest by Irene Wineman Marcus
amp quot I don't want to go. I'm too little! amp quot amp quot But, Davey, school will be such fun, amp quot said Mommy. amp quot There will be new toys and games and other children to play with. amp quot Early separations - whether to go to school, a playgroup, camp, or to visit grandparents alone - can be as upsetting as they are exciting for both children and parents. How these events are handled can affect how children behave in similar situations throughout their lives. This delightful tale about a young prince's adventures away from home explores the insecurity and anger children may feel and gently suggests ways to resolve their conflicts by relying on their own strengths. From the Introduction: A child's separation from his or her parents, whether it is to go to a playgroup, to school, to camp, or to stay with relatives, represents a major life event for both child and parent. Most children experience such early separations with a mixture of joyful anticipation, fear, and anxiety. How parents deal with these early separations is of utmost importance since children's reactions are likely to be repeated in similar situations as they get older.Irene Wineman Marcus is a child psychoanalyst trained under the directorship of Anna Freud at the Hampstead Child Therapy Clinic.
