They had to peel her off me

My beautiful amazing little girl has been going to daycare since she turned 4mo. In general drop off had been going fine, every now and then she would get upset but for the most part, she saw her friends and her teacher and would just trot off. Then she turned 18 months and I guess separation anxiety set in? It's been a month of breakdowns at drop off. I tried hanging around to let her adjust, she just sits on me so I can't leave. I tried the drop and dash, and I get to hear my daughter wail and bang on the door as I run away. I try handing her directly to her teacher, she just grabs a hold and we have to break her grip.Today, before we even hit the door, she started screaming and crying and holding onto my legs trying to climb me. They had to peel her off me. My heart is breaking. I HAVE to work, it's not just the money, but I did the SAHM thing and it wasn't good for my mental health. She was doing so well. The teachers tell me she adjusts quickly after I leave and she is always happy before she sees me at pick up. But I can't handle this much longer, I need this phase to end as quickly as possible. Any advice? via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/2LRTn2L
