In this brief video, the presenter addresses parents who hear their child sob and plead, "Don't leave me, Mummy," during school drop‑off. She explains that such cries are a sign of separation anxiety, not an indication that the parent is a bad caregiver or that the child will dislike school. She reassures viewers that these reactions are normal and encourages them to stay calm and supportive. The speaker also promotes a downloadable guide titled "The 10 Best Ways to Prepare for School," inviting viewers to message her for access.

If your child sobs and says, "Don't leave me, Mummy," it does mean that they're anxious about being left. It doesn't mean that you're a bad mother for leaving them, and nor does it mean that they're going to hate it while they're there. So just remember that and watch out for some more tips that I've got about this. And if you'd like my guide, The 10 Best Ways to Prepare for School, message me below and I'll send it to you.
