My son who has just started reception is crying a lot before school. It seems to come and go, but many mornings we have 5-10mins of tears and him being dragged off me into the classroom. I'm confident he's happy at school, teacher says it stops after I've gone and at pick up he's happy, chatty and seems to have lots of friends etc.
Any advice to get over this. Have tried treats/bribery, going into classroom with him, bringing him home for lunch (he cried when he went back) pictures of family in his bag to look at if sad, thinking happy things on way to school. Help, I'm close to tears now as well and dread walk to school.
