Hi,
My daughter is 3 and just started pre school / daycare at a highly recommended place. Up until then, she was watched by my parents on some days, and another in home family member other days. This is her first time at daycare. We chose daycare 3 days a week and my parents do the other 2. We chose this when we moved further away from the original providers. Anyways- my girl is sweet, smart and very social. We did the tour and she loved it! Well, about a month in and all she does is cry. She has terrible anxiety that I’m going to leave her. She asks every day ( with panic) if it’s a school night. Relieved when I say no, and cries when I say yes. It’s to the point where I can’t even leave her with her own Dad because she doesn’t want me to leave her. Teachers tell me she’s fine after I leave, and she’s always excited when I pick her up. But again, if I do so much as go to the store, doctor , whatever- she has to be with me. She has also been acting out ( crying , tantrums, developing stress rashes, etc). I know she’s in good hands, but this is breaking my heart. Is this normal? Is it time to pull the plug? I don’t know what to do.
