Help! Separation anxiety

[Reremumof2]

First time on here.... My soon to be 4 yr old daughter is always getting upset when leaving me to either go to nursery, pre-school, bedtime and keeps getting up in the night to be with me. I know this sounds bad but I feel so suffocated and hate seeing her so upset. Does anyone have any advice or suffered the same situation. Also she constantly cries over such little things :(

Can you give her something to belongs to you that she can keep with her?

Never really thought of that! Any ideas on what though? Thanks x

Make it something that smells of you. A top you've worn or slept with is good, especially if it has a bit of your perfume or deodorant on it. This can work really well for children settling in to new childcare settings too.
