My 4 year old grandson goes to pre school 5 afternoons a week, and has done since Sept. He also goes to an adjacent nursery 3 mornings. This is to enable my daughter to work.
I pick him up 2 afternoons a week at 3.15 and have him till bedtime.
He has always been quite a sensitive little boy but this last week has been a nightmare! He had tonsillitis 2 weeks ago and his glands are still up, doctor says viral which isn't helping. But as long as he's at home he's quite happy but since last week has been hysterical and sobbing about going to nursery & pre school. And is crying a lot of the time he is there also. The only answer he gives when asked why is that he wants to be at home with Mummy. And the only other thing that has upset him is that a new little girl has cried a lot since starting recently. He has always become very very upset about other children crying.
Sorry this is a bit long winded but I am feeling so upset and helpless. My daughter feels she has to perservere as she really does need to work although I have offered to have him more, she feels this isn't really the answer. Grateful for any suggestions as the nursery and pre school are being very good but have no ideas.
