I read in the Article and the one in or posted links. I have experienced children in our family, at the church and school with these separation issues. But the part that always seems to amaze me is how children in a quickness can cut it off an move on to the next level. Some child do not mind being left with the caregivers and do not cry but these are usually the one that have the routine down. One little girl in particular likes to be held all the time by her mother or whoever so when she is dropped off and not transfered to a persons arms she will cry until she is either picked up or her Mom comes back.

This article was very good. I used to work at a summer camp and I seen when little kid used to be dropped off and some would yell and cry for about 20 mins and then there was the ones who just came in and started playing. Most kids seem to have attachment issues.
#1 - Thu Nov 18, 2010 7:00 PM ESTWhen my oldest turned 1 I worked for about 5 months before I had my baby. Because my sister worked at a daycare we decided we'd put E there. That was the worst couple of weeks of my life. He cried all day everyday. When he wasn't home sick. After he spent a week in the hospital we moved him to a private sitter. (I'm not blaming the sickness on the daycare he might have gotten sick anyway. Daycare just wasn't a good fit for us.)He still cried when I dropped him off at first but she would rock him and love on him for a little bit then he was fine. I think he just needed the one on one attention in the mornings. He came earlier than the other little one's she watched. When he turned two he started going to Mother's Day Out. He's only gotten upset twice when I dropped him off. Maybe because he's older now? I don't know.
I really enjoyed this article and thought it had great suggestions. I will definitely keep them in mind next year when my baby turns 2 and we put him in Mother's Day Out. He's a Mama's boy and has never been left so I'm afraid it's going to be traumatic for him at first.

#3 - Thu Nov 25, 2010 1:08 AM ESTLooking at the article and your comments shows that there are so many things out there that children do when their parents drop them off. As a teacher working moening duty we experience issues with children reacting to being left at school. Many little ones had serious issues because they did not want to be at school from PreK to even second graders. But I also noticed how some children would cry and cry then something would get their attention and cut that cry off. At church we have children that will just cry themselves to sleep and others will come in and just have a great time from the begining.
