Please help - 3 year old a nightmare

[thechocolatemonster]

My dd is taken to school by her Dad four days a week. When I take her she turns into a screaming mess, clinging to my leg, sobbing and having hysterics. She's been going to nursery since January and has never got any better!

Another Mum just told me today that I should walk out as she's playing on my insecurities. But I don't know how to do it. What will all the other mums think? If you've got any suggestions I'd really appreciate them.

How does she react when her dad takes her?
Think she is just playing on the fact that you probably react differently to her, than her dad does. you definately need to take her and just leave her ignoring her behaviour, telling her she is a big girl and that you will go back and get her once she has had some fun with her friends.

Know how hard it is to leave them when they start acting up.

That's exactly right - it feels really cruel to just dump her and walk out whilst she's in floods of tears. Also - it has gone on so long that I think it's going to take a long while to change the pattern of behaviour.

She's absolutely fine the other 4 days of the week - runs in and is as happy as anything.
