Hi all,I mosty lurk but have really gathered some great advice from this sub so I was hoping you could help me and u/yippy3000 out.My daughter (27 months) has been crying at daycare dropoff very often (4 out of 5 days per week) over the last 4 months. We kept thinking it was a variety of short-term causes: her favorite teacher was out sick, 2yr separation anxiety, 2yr molars coming in, coming back from the holidays, starting to get sick, recovering from a cold, doing some test hours in the next classroom up, starting school again after being home due to the flu (twice, ugh). But, its persisted.I’ve been doing the quick dropoff technique this whole time. Get her in, dropoff stuff, change shoes, quick hug/goodbye “have a good day”, hand her to teacher while she cries “I want Mommy”. She doesn’t cling but she seems so sad. We’ve been reading her the book “Llama Llama Misses Mama”. She likes it and understands that Mama will come back. We have a mantra that we tell her in the morning. “Mama is going to work, you are going to school. After nap, snack, and playtime Mommy will come and get you”. She’ll tell me back “that after nap, snack, and playtime Mommy comes.”While I would love to just quit my job and keep her home where she’s happy, I believe it would just be avoiding the problem instead of solving it. Any advice to ease the transition for her? via /r/Parenting http://ift.tt/2GGYQEA
