For adults, however, setting aside the “office persona” to get down on the floor and run cars about the living area may seem alien and nearly impossible. Letting go of your adult persona, however, is the first step toward helping your child see you as an ally and not simply an authority figure. By learning to play with your child, you enter their space and their world as opposed to asking them to operate in your world – a world in which there are many rules and restrictions they have yet to understand. - [Why Does My Child Cry When I Drop Them Off?](http://www.alphabet-preschool.com/why-does-my-child-cry-when-i-drop-them-off/) - Dropping children off at school, daycare, preschool and they cry. What can I do? - [How Can I Help My Child's Language Development?](http://www.alphabet-preschool.com/preschool-read-language/) - Given that reading is an important part of a child’s development, how can parents support the learning happening at school and create an environment which encourages reading outside of school? Creating one’s own library can be an expensive and daunting task, but with a few small adjustments and a relatively small amount of expenditure, parents can create a space useful for reading to and with their children as well as for their children to begin exploring reading on their own (Bernadowski, 2009). - [Potty Training!](http://www.alphabet-preschool.com/preschool-potty-training/) - For many of us, preschool prior to potty training is simply the only option available. We trust that teachers and caregivers will recognize the signs of readiness in our children and then establish a workable routine to help our babies become independent toddlers. But how do we go about supporting the routines established during preschool hours while we are away? If we aren’t there to see exactly what is happening to teach our children to use the potty, how can we possibly be successful in supporting the endeavor at home? - [Biting - Why do children bite?](http://www.alphabet-preschool.com/preschool-biting/) - Biting. It seems like one of the most savage forms of attack, almost animal in nature. Yet, most babies and toddlers will go through a biting stage at some point. As parents, we wonder where this instinct comes from – certainly we’ve never modeled such behavior and are at a loss to explain where our children learn to do such a vicious thing. Relax…biting is a natural behavior, part of growing up and asserting our independence as human beings. ## Pages - [Contact](http://www.alphabet-preschool.com/contact/) - Contact Us Telephone South Tacoma Way: 253-473-0420 South Puget Sound: 253-474-1372 Lakewood: 253-472-6068 Puyallup: 253-445-0500 Snail Mail 2305 South Tacoma Way, Tacoma WA, 98409 5419 South Puget Sound, Tacoma WA, 98408 7607 Lakewood Drive SW, Lakewood WA, 98499 1822 East Pioneer, Puyallup, WA, 98372 FAX South Tacoma Way: 253-474-1245 South Puget Sound: 253-474-1245 Lakewood: 253-472-6405 - [About Us](http://www.alphabet-preschool.com/about-us/) - Company Profile Alphabet Preschool and Learning Center grew out of a dream which began nearly 30 years ago.
