Does she keep crying for a long period of time or stop pretty quickly? I used to run a daycare and I can tell you most of the kiddos would stop within a minute of their parents leaving. Once they figured out mom was not staying then they gave up the fight. I can't really think of any that cried for an extended period of time. I've also been on the mom side of it and in both respects, I find a quick goodbye in these type of situations can be better. Not rushed, but the longer you stick around the harder it can be. Don't sneak out whatever you do. It is best for her to say goodbye even if it's through tears. Try not to get too upset about her. I think somewhat she is trying to see what she can get away with. <BR/><BR/>If you have a good daycare, I would take comfort in knowing she is well cared for. If she's happy most of the time other than the goodbye then I'd try to relax a little. If you aren't stressed, then she will be calmer. <BR/><BR/>Hope this helps. Good luck. I know it's no fun having them cry when you leave and I've made many a trip to work crying my eyes out.Debbie @ Three Weddingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11778199494515694006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4448347056797379887.post-45756156214784968122008-09-15T19:26:00.000-06:002008-09-15T19:26:00.000-06:00Sorry I haven't gotten to comment recently...and s...Sorry I haven't gotten to comment recently...and still need to answer your email. I have not been through this before, but my friend Kelly recently had a similar situation with her son who is also 3 and was going to preschool for the 1st time and had the same crying issues. She just kept taking him and dropping him off and then leaving, and it took about 3 weeks, but he finally stopped crying when she dropped him off, he just needed time to adjust. Hopefully that is the same case with Mikayla. Good Luck!! I am sure it must be so hard to leave her crying like that!Carriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07877015213469986409noreply@blogger.com
