Thread title says it all really. DD has been in childcare since 5 months old. Ever since she was a toddler I struggle to get her to go home with me. I often have to pick her up and carry or drag her screaming and crying from the room. She hides behind or clings on to the furniture. It's embarrassing and upsetting. God knows what the staff or other children think. Once we are out of the room, she'll refuse to out shoes or coat on etc. I get frazzled and lose my temper. We have a good relationship otherwise. It's all fine once we are in the car. It's also fine if I pick her up earlier - straight after school or early afternoon on a non school day - but my working hours don't always allow that. Any tips?
