My 3.5 year old got really upset today when I took him to nursery for sports' day (he doesn't usually go on a Fri). I'm just trying to work out why he was the only one there who got upset when he saw me 'spectating'. He got upset when I left him in his preschool room initially but I get that. However every time he looked over and saw me sitting with the other parents he welled up, like he couldn't bear to see me without being able to come over. About 5 mins before the end I waved him over for a cuddle. Then of course he was fine. Just trying to understand the behaviour and how to help him.
