It's separation anxiety. She'll get over it quickly. Best thing to do is drop and run. The longer you stick around the worse it will be. The teachers know how to handle it.

Yep rip the band-aid off when you drop her off. Also get her excited about all the fun things she'll do and learn and keep reinforcing it

Was she in daycare/play school prior to this or is this the first time she has will be going to someplace other than home for major part of the day ?

My brother used to spend the first couple mins with her playing at daycare to show her that it was a safe place to be at, and tried to interact with the other kids so that my niece would interact as well. He would then sneak away while she was distracted. She soon got used to it and has no problem now.

My daughter has always had this everywhere we’ve taken her and had to leave her (daycare, friends, camps, classes). It’s only ever with me and not my wife. With her, it was more about the other adults she didn’t know yet, so I realized I had to interact with them first in front of her; get their names and have them introduce themselves. It’s especially bad with other men. She apparently needs either rapport or to see that I trusted them first. It’s helped.

You do have to get out as fast as you can though. I know it’s tough seeing them melt, but it’s what’s needed. And you’re doing great, btw.

Awww. Yeah agree with these posts you are doing great! Hang in there and it’ll work out eventually.

I really want to move out of my parents place for social reasons etc. I still hangout with friends a lot but it’s just a hassle having to drive a hour or so to kick it with them. So my dilemma is I enjoy saving $ on rent (yes I know can’t have both) but the main reason for me moving back home is so that I can save and buy a house. On the flip side with how expensive houses are right now it’s hard to even buy. I’m in CA btw SoCal. If anyone has any suggestion of places to live for a 26 YO TIA!

My anxiety has been at bay after changing my job and just feeling like I HAVE control over my life. But now it's back because I feel like I'm behind in other aspects of my life (I.e dating).

I've been on the apps too and it's just... more demotivating honestly than anything else

A majority of society tends to stick around to things because they are influenced by "enough" people doing something similar. Hence, they start living someone else's life instead of theirs.

Think about what you want for yourself, what's important, what you value. Then, ask yourself. Do I have these things? Am I living by the things that are important to me?

Question about inclusion…. I’ve been teaching inclusion for 5 years so I’m still a newb, but a first year coworker of mine said she got points off on her observation because her kids were scattered in the classroom and she was having to move from kid to kid to assist. While I see the point of putting them together for convenience, I don’t agree with this at all! To me this is like singling them out by putting them all together instead of INCLUDED amongst peers. What do y’all think?
