My 3 year old daughter has recently started not wanting to go anywhere. It's been a few months now and she never ever wants to leave the house. Not for park, trip to the farm or anything. It's very odd. She just wants to watch TV all day, which of course we don't let her do.
She has also started missing me and her dad and her sister when we aren't around and when she has to go to nursery she spends the entire morning upset, telling me she doesn't want to go and she'll miss me. She clung on to me at drop off today and got really very upset. I had to leave her in a state and felt awful. Then I rang as soon as I got home to see if she was OK and she was fine. She goes two days a week and starts school this year, I'm starting to worry what she'll be like going to school every day!
I understand it's really common to have drop off issues at nursery, my eldest did for a while but it's the not wanting to ever leave the house that I think is a bit odd. Even if I suggested soft play she will say she wants to go but then does everything humanly possible to avoid getting ready. It's so bizarre. Any suggestions/experience of this sort of behaviour?
