Chinese Kindergarten Holds Pajama Parties to Ease Children's Separation Anxiety

(Wuhan Morning News) – Teachers and students here were all dressed in pajamas for all the classes, and for even pajama catwalk shows, which was what our reporters recently saw at a kindergarten in Wuhan, China. And the purpose of this, as the kindergarten told, was to ease the separation anxiety of the kids, who usually cry for going home after being sent there for classes.

Reporters saw last Friday at Jingjing Kindergarten that all of the students wore colorful sleepwear and slippers with exaggerated cartoon images playing games in the classrooms with their teachers, also in pajamas. The kids would also call the female teachers as their mothers, as if at home. And at 10 o’clock that morning, the classroom of Senior Class 2 saw a pajamas catwalk show.

Zheng Jin, teacher of Senior Class 2, explained why they were doing this for the children. Actually they got the inspiration from the tradition of “Pajama Day” in America and Canada, when everyone attends school or goes to work in homewear to relieve the pressure and tension from daily life. And the kindergarten considered it to be worth trying to create a warm and peaceful atmosphere to let their students feel at home and thus reduce the separation anxiety.
