Giving him a picture of yourself, if the anxiety is over leaving yourself. Also resassure him of what time you will meet again, example I was home when my son came off the bus so I would tell him I would be waiting for him.
For yourself you may want to call the school to see how he is doing after you leave. If he is fine it will reassure you, if not ask for assistance on how to work with the school in assisting your son.
When you feel frustrated it may help to rant to someone, like us, so that your son doesn't pick up on the frustration because it will probably heighten his anxiety.
BEST WISHES
