my DD almost 7 is difficult when i need to go to work and leave her friends. This is quiet a recent issue but is becoming unmanageable as I work unconventional hours due to being a freelance. I need now to organise local childcare that isn't with friends ( as everyone has their own lives) but am afraid how she will react. It could be to be a control issue but i am not sure how to handle it. I am a single mum she see's her dad twice a week, our weeks change from week to week and she seems to accept that. She is a very confident girl and this seems so out of character but she cries and clings onto me so i cant leave.. which is heart breaking and annoying all in one go as i need to work!! I often talk her through it, and even try to bribe her but that doenst seem to have much leverage 'in the moment'. I would be grateful of any info i should consider or a plan of action to make departures a breeze
