My daughter has just started reception.
She's been such an easy child to bring up and have only had 4 (honestly!)really bad tantrums/screaming episodes.
We've had a few mornings at drop-off of hysterical crying and screaming, which is so distressing for her and myself. She's quite happy going to school and seems to enjoy it whilst she's there (constantly telling me who did this and that and so on), so why the crying when I have to leave her at school?
She takes in her favourite teddy and I've just bought her a pocket size cuddly toy, so she can leave the bigger one at home and take the smaller one instead. Plus it's less obvious.
I've also started a reward chart at home.
Is separation anxiety a possibility? How do we manage it? How long will it last? Anyone got any ideas?
