I have a 4 1/2 yo who cries here on a regular basis (2-3 days/wk). Many mornings she starts crying as mom says goodbye to her. She cries with changes in who drops off or picks up. Ex: dad drops off instead of mom, mom picks up and DCG wanted dad to pick up.
One day the family was supposed to go to grandma and grandpas house for dinner after leaving my house. When mom came for pick up, she told 4 1/2 yo they couldn't go because grandma and grandpa were sick and DCG immediately had a meltdown tantrum.
Mom is sick today, so dad dropped off and DCG cried all through breakfast because she wanted mom to drop her off instead.
At what age is this no longer considered normal behavior for the child's age? At this age, I feel like DCG can understand that when someone is sick, they need to stay home and rest.
