Clingy child at child minders

3 replies

Hi my little one is nearly ten months old and is doing well at the child minders since I've returned to work but is being very clingy with the childminders. She says she cannot put her down without my child becoming frustrated. Little one is not overly clingy at home and seems to love playing with the other kids at childminders and interacting. Is it just her age or is there something I should be doing or how do I approach this

Thanks in advance

Normal, it’s all different there and your little one is still adjusting. It’s hard but I usually find when they start to walk it gets easier.

This is normal when they are settling in and can last a couple months. Really your cm should know how to handle these things as all healthy well attached children probably behave like this for at least the first few weeks to month(s). It will get easier. It’s just part of adjusting. Lots of cuddles and reassurance from you at home is the best approach.

Thank you she's been there three full days a week for three weeks and did about four weeks of 3xhours twice a week settling in.

My childminders is great I just wanted some reassurance I guess that this was normal as this is my first baby and I haven't got a bratty child that wants to be held all the time.
