First ever playgroup, reassurance needed.

[ClarasMummy]

DD is being left at playgroup tomorrow for the first time and I'm feeling so anxious about it. I am with her nearly 24/7 and if I am ever out she is left with DP or her grandparents. The group is only five minutes down the road and it would be so good for her to be able to interact with other children for a change but I'm worrying myself sick about all the things that could happen in two hours.
Please give me some reassurance, I'm agoraphobic and I am desperate not to inflict my anxieties onto DD.

if its a new playgroup could you possibly stay with her the first time for all or some of the session? Even if you cant youll probably find she settles in better than you think.

She will be fine ..... I have worked/ran playgroups before and if the parent is not happy to just go then I tend to ask them to stay for a bit 1st let the LO settle then say bye bye... I always get them to say bye. Sometimes the child will cry but don't worry that is normal and once distracted then the child is fine.

I hope it goes ok.
