Help with Daycare Please!!

Hey all,

I have read over the other threads in regards to this but wondered if anyone else had any tips.

My DS started full time DC about 2 weeks ago. The first week he was fine and didn't care when I left. The second week he happily ran to the gate etc but cried a wee bit when I left. Today he screamed/cried from the time I opened the car door to get him out. It was heartbreaking and i have been in tears every morning since that first week.

I pump up DC and talk to me about it, explain everything to him, talk about what he will do that day etc. He can't talk yet but understands instructions etc so think that explaining might help. I always sit and play with him when we get there. I always say goodbye to him etc.

I really need help on what to do (apart from resigning from work!).

One thing that my daughters day care does really well (and they change it depending on the child) - is they either stand at the door with the child and wave bye to mum / dad as they leave to go to work, or they distract them with games after the goodbyes have been said to take their mind off the fact the mum / dad are leaving... If it is something you are really worried about talk to DC and ask if 1 teacher can be in charge of the transition in the morning so that DS can have someone else that they like and know well, instead of different teachers cuddling him on different mornings?

Hope this makes sense... PM me if you want any more tips...

I think just see how he goes over the next few weeks, it takes some kids a while to settle in properly - Arna has been at daycare for 4 years and she still clings to me and cries some mornings... its all a part of being a kid i guess!!
