Hi there
I am planning to send my son to nursery next week and i am just going through this settling in phase now. My 2 year old has had just 3 settling in session but he just hates it.
The first day went very well. I saw him play and left after 20 minutes. He was fine when i returned after 30. He didn't want to go home.
Second day i did something bad !! I just left him inside and came out. HE immediately started looking for me. I shouldn't have done that. I returned after 45 minutes. He was all scared and completely in tears. I felt terrible really.
I took him again for the third time today and he started screaming and saying "no" the moment I entered the nursery. I stayed with him the full one hour and all he was doing was sticking to me and crying for no reason by just 'imagining' I was gonna leave or something.
I am feeling like a horrible mum now. I don't know how to overcome this. I feel like quitting my job. He is just 2. I couldn't see other kids in the nursery crying too. All i was thinking was - I was never brought up like this.. so he doesn't deserve it. I don't know.. please help me. I am having sleepless nights !
No one seems to understand what i am going through... I hope someone here can !!
