Hi, I'm puzzled by my 2.5 year-old's behaviour and I'm hoping someone can shed some light on the situation.
We are in Belgium where children start kindergarten at 2.5. My daughter has been going to kindy for 3 weeks now.
When I pick her up at 5pm (there is daycare within the school so she hangs out with other kids until parents turn up), she is reluctant to leave and it takes a few minutes to persuade her that it's time to go.
And once out of the daycare room, she becomes almost hyperactive, running and shouting and generally carrying on.
It continues at home, to the point where she sometimes falls over and bangs some part of her body on the floor/table/whatever.
She's not particularly hungry or thirsty. She sometimes asks in the morning if she doesn't have to go to school but she doesn't seem to mind going, and she enjoys it there and isn't in a hurry to leave...
Any clues? What is this crazy behaviour about? We always have a lot of time for her in the evenings and in the mornings.
Help appreciated!
