Ds (3) has been going to a day nursery very part time for the last two years. He started at a new preschool yesterday. He is a sensitive little chap and wants me to stay at the moment. The environment is much busier, bigger and more manic, and weirdly less structured than his day nursery room was.
The teacher encourages parents to stay until such time as a child starts wandering off alone around the room - even if it takes days and days of visits together.
But I feel that my ds now knows that if he keeps asking me to stay I will. Surely it would be better for me to reassure him he will be looked after, explain who to ask for what and then go quickly but reassure him I will be back soon?
