How do I stop my DS from crying/being upset/angry when I take him to nursery on a monday morning? FYI he's been going since he was 6 months old, it's 4 days a week and he's now 2.5. I think it's because he's had a lovely weekend and he just doesn't want to go. I know he will be fine once he's there, I am not worried about that.
I always tell him at least half an hour before we have to leave to prepare him but he starts getting upset even when I change him out of his PJ's.
So then when we actually have to leave and I am trying to get him ready for nursery, he just cries and gets angry and won't let me put his coat on etc so I get angry and stressed and I end up shouting at him: "stop crying, we go EVERYDAAAAAAAAAAY". Then by the time we get to nursery he's all sad and quiet and I am racked with guilt for shouting. Same thing almost every morning. I feel really sad that HE is so sad about going so it makes me feel even worse that I?ve also shouted at him. What can I do? :-/
