Hi there,
My almost 3 year old goes to her gran and a childminder while I work. She spends 2 days with granny and 1 day with her childminder. This has been the arrangement for 2 years.
All of a sudden last week my DD started to cry hysterically when I leave her. She is even starting to get anxious in the morning when she wakens, asking me where she is going today and saying that she wants to stay home with mummy. When we arrive at grans or the childminders, she clings to me and gets pretty hysterical and screaming that she doesnt want me to go and that she wants to go home. It breaks my heart.
Is this fairly common or should I be worried? I can honestly not think of anything that has happened to prompt this. She got time out for the first time at her childminders a few weeks ago, but at the time she didnt seem bothered.
We moved house approx. 4 months ago too, but she seemed to cope really well with this and loves her new room etc.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks :)
