My 3 year old daughter started at preschool nursery this week. I'm a sahm so previous to this she rarely leaves my side, only previously attending activities where i'm also there. She was fine going in (barely a glance back as she ran into the classroom), but later she got terribly upset when they went out to play and she thought i'd be waiting there for her and they had to call me to collect her in the end to pick her up as they couldn't calm her. Both hubby and i explained to her that i'd would pick her up the following day at lunchtime and not at playtime, but again i had a phonecall that she had got upset at playtime and it was best i collected her. Teacher has now suggested i collect her early before playtime for a few days, until she settles in. Hubby would prefer that i try and convince her to stay when i arrive to collect her tomorrow as he's worried if i start arriving to take her home early every day she'll see this as the normal and never be happy to stay later, but as i can't stay on site i worry that she'd start getting upset again when she realised i had gone again. Also if the teacher has suggested it, i presume that my daughter isn't the first child to get upset and be collected early when starting nursery so that i should follow her suggestion. Any words of wisdom?
