男：时间来到了9月1号，不仅是中小学，不少地方的幼儿园小朋友们也开学了。幼儿园迎来了整个学习里说是最忙碌的一天。
女：是，大家通常会把这一天称作叫“神兽归笼”。幼儿园呢确实变成了大型的“伤别离”现场。我们也看到网上有很多的视频引发了大家的热议，有网友就开玩笑说：“哇幼儿园开学第一天真的是听取哇声一片。”
男：是小朋友第一次离开家要出个小远门了哈。有嗷嗷大哭的，有含泪一步三回头的，也有搂着爸爸妈妈脖子，挂在身上不愿意下来的。老师呢恨不得长八只手，感觉哄不完，根本就哄不完。
女：其实爸爸妈妈也没好到哪儿去，因为他们的分离焦虑呀可能比孩子们更严重。
男：是，通过大家发布的视频呢我们总结了一下哈，比如说，有这个老父亲送完了萌娃回来一直抹眼泪的，有上一秒嘴上说着“解放了”下一秒却化身壁虎各种趴墙头偷看孩子的。
女：特别理解啊，为人父母的心情。你像幼儿园是孩子离开家庭独立成长的第一步，其实也是爸爸妈妈面临和孩子分离的第一步。这世上大部分的爱都是关乎拥有的，但唯独呢父母对子女的爱却应该是逐步放手的爱。所以啊，对于家长们来说呢，希望大家也要提前做好准备，也给孩子充分的信任和鼓励。
男：是，其实每一次流泪呢也都是孩子成长的一个契机，所以家长们也要相信孩子啊，当他们独立面对陌生环境的时候，将爆发出意想不到的小宇宙。
