Would like your advice lovely ladies.
My Ds who was 4 in April has been going to a lovely Pre school since last September he goes everyday 9 - 12, it is attached to the school he will be starting in September and the Reception is next door which incidentally my DD 5 is in. The first couple of weeks he was excited to go and went in smiling which I was surprised about as he has always been a bit clingy to me but happy he was settling in so well, since then though he has changed and we go through phases of him saying first thing he does not want to go, crying, clinging on to the doors when I am trying to get him in. The latest phase has been most of the year to be honest, obviously I have spoken to the teacher and assistant to see if there are any problems with other children etc but they say there is not and that 5 minutes after I leave he is fine and is for the rest of the morning. When I ask him what is the matter he says that he just wants to stay with me because he loves me which is really sweet but he needs to go.
I try not to pander to him, when I drop him off and he is crying I don't hang around just tell him I will be back to pick him up at 12 give him a hug then go but inside it is killing me, none of the other children do this on a regular basis like him, there were a few in the beginning which is when you expect it but he has been there 9 months now.
Has anyone else had this and how did you deal with it?
