This is my first post, so apologies if I've posted in the wrong place – bear with me!
My little boy is 2 and has been at nursery part-time for 6 months. It took him a couple of weeks to settle him, but now he loves it and has come on loads. Up until now he seems to have got on well with all the other teachers and kids, but just recently he has started to get really upset when left with one particular teacher. He will be all happy as we come in, waving to people through the window, but then, if she is there, he will get really agitated and usually burst into tears and say 'scary! scary!' When another teacher picks him up and comforts him, he usually calms down. This has happened 4 times now.
It's unusual behaviour for him, as he's generally quite sociable (will toddle off and sit next to random strangers on the bus, for example!) and he also doesn't usually cry much.
My husband is worried and thinks we should talk to the nursery, but my feeling is that I don't really want to cause trouble when there's no evidence of any wrongdoing. I was wondering if this is actually quite a common thing that some kids go through?
Does anyone have any similar experiences?
