My elder DD ( nearly 3) will be starting nursery for the first time later this month ( we are overseas)
Pre COVID she was looked after by a nanny while I was at work and she was fine with that arrangement. Now post COVID so much has changed for her , we went back to the U.K. for 6months, I had DD2 ( now 4 months) , DH was only with us a few weeks as he was working overseas and mainly it's been me looking after both children solo. As a consequence of all this she is very very clingy. She hasn't been around many kids at all because of COVID lockdown and she won't even look or play near any other children now. She cries and gets so upset if I try and have a play date for her .
I'm so worried that she'll just have a meltdown when I take her to nursery but she needs to go for her own social development, plus I'll be back at work in 6 months and she needs more structure than the nanny can give her .
I would be so grateful for any advice on how to prepare her for this. And apologies for the essay!!
