Hi all needing a little help. I will keep this as short as possible.
My son was 4 in December.
He is very sweet, loving, has always been into everything and very strong willed.
He started nursary when he was 3 and quite enjoyed it. 6 months ago he started getting himself in a tizzy when i left.
He would grab on to me and nursary staff would have to hold him, ( kicking & screaming) while i left. One i had gone he was ok.
In the last 3 months during the day he would get tearfull and ask where i was.
Last week he started school, in wales we start earlier, he does every school day to lunch time for 4 weeks then starting full time.
Unfortunately last week my son and daughter were ill and only had 1 day in school.
Tonight he has already started getting upset, he doesnt want to go, and i know i will get it for 2 hrs in the morning. It is quite stressfull.
I get alot of advice how i am too soft with him, how he is manipulating me but no helpfull advice on how to deal with it and move on.
I believe he is suffering seperation anxiety but i also believe he is playing on it and making the situation worse for me and himself.
Can some one please help me
