Hi
DD is 3.4 and has been attending the local nursery for almost 2 years. She is not a particularly confident or boisterous child but she had seemed quite settled there with just the odd burst of tears now and then.
However, over the last 2 months or so we've had to collect her early twice because she's been crying so much and she cries almost every time she is left. She even cries when myself or dh picks her up!
We've tried talking to her about it and why she doesnt enjoy it and she says "because i miss you when im there mummy" - cue guilt sweeping right through me!
She attends a different pre-school group 4 mornings a week which we have no problem with although she is still quiet whilst there - but as i keep trying to tell people - being quiet is not necessarily a bad thing.
Anyway, i am at a loss as to what to do next. My immediate reaction is to just take her out of the nursery (she's only still there cos we want her to have it to go to through the summer hols and one of her little friends goes there etc) but i dont want her to think that she can cry and simply get what she wants iykwim.
Any advice/tips would be greatly appreciated.
TIA X
