DS started nursery this week and although he's happy to go in the morning, and tells me he's had a good day when I pick him up, I've been told he has been found crying at some point each day and it's because he misses me. I think he feels a bit lost and lonely as he hasn't formed any friendships yet (it's only been 4 half days). It just breaks my heart to think of him being there, surrounded by strangers and feeling upset.
He's not long turned 3 and isn't used to being away from me/someone he knows, trusts and feels comfortable with for such long periods of time.
How long did it take your similar aged DC to make friends at nursery?
