I have a new 2 year old daycare boy who started today. He was fine for the first hour after drop off. He was asking for him parents but not crying. After the other 2 boys were dropped off, he began whimpering and calling his mom more loudly. This went on for 2 hours. I tried dancing, music (worked for a couple min) drawing, food, water, a walk, bubbles (worked for a couple minutes) outdoor play. After 2 hours he started crying loudly for the next few hours
until his mom came back. It was starting to affect my own kids and the other daycare kids and was stressful to hear all that crying!
Does anyone have any advice? What have you done that's
helped? How long should I expect the transition to take? Would it be mean to put him in a pack n play if he refuses to stop crying after an hour (assuming he has a clean diaper and isn't hungry or thirsty?) I know the transition must be so tough for him but he's already having negative effects on the other kids.
