Our first did this whenever my wife would take her to school, so I started taking her. Worked like a charm. Continued that for a couple weeks and started alternating. She got to the point pretty quickly where she was fine.
Some kids take to it better than others. Started taking our at 15 mo's and was on and off breakdown at dropoff now shes 2 and we talk about all the fun things they will do (playground, stories, art, see the fish) the people she'll see (friends in class and teachers, by name), and generally don't make a big deal about it in the morning other than to say "time for school, let's get ready to go"
All that said, if it's getting worse, talk to someone or switch things up.
How do you know he’s been ok/better at school? The anxiety getting worse not better is kind of a red flag to me. Is he verbal and do you talk about what he’s done that day and who his friends are etc?
My daughter experienced the same thing last year. This is a red flag. We had to pull her out of pre k. She is now in pediatric therapy because any talk of school terrifies her. We found out that her teacher yelled at her in front of the whole class. The whole experience has scarred my daughter. She never experienced any kind of shame before. We are working on getting her ready for kindergarten. Happy to chat more if interested. Feel free to DM me.
Sorry to sound like a jerk but it sounds like he’s playing you. I think a lot of kids do this and it’s best not to pander to them. Be positive about preschool, talk to them when you pick them up about what cool things they did that day, always show excitement about it.
In time it gets better. Don’t drag out the drop off. I’m sure the teachers there can share many stories of other kids that have gone through this.
