MK is a very happy and extremely intelligent 2.8 year old. She is overly attached to me and gets scared with loud noises etc. e.g swimming pools, fun city, drills etc. I knew this would be an problem when she started preschool, the first 3 weeks were very hard, she cried alot and was very upset every day when I dropped her off. Then on the 4th week she was great, even told me she did not want to go home at the end of the day. This went on for one month, then a new boy started in her class and he scared MK with his crying and screaming, and to be honest he was very loud he even bothered me?? This was 2 weeks before the xmas holidays, during the two weeks I was called to pick her up early because she was so upset and on a few occasions cried so hard she threw up. The holidays were great she was relaxed, happy and in general her normal self. Now I am getting her ready to go back to school and have started talking about it to get her prepared and today she threw up again. I have no idea if she is so upset that it is a reaction or if she is so intelligent that she knows it will get her out of school?? Please can anyone give me some advise, I don't want to continue if it is really emotionally upsetting her and going to cause more damage or if I should continue and hope it will get better. Thanks in advance

Well you are right even the youngest of children can play 'mind games' :)

How is she in herself when you are not talking about pre-school? Does she mention it and get upset at other times- such as bedtime when no-one has mentioned preschool? Has she gone back to an old comforter?
It might be a case of simply needing to build her confidence back up. I'm not sure what the set up is - but at ours I would possibly recommend you come in little later- so she enters when the setting is at full swing- and all other children are well settled and playing- then collect her 10-15 early, hopefully whilst she is still happily playing. Mind you this will only really work if the other child (the screamer) has settled too. I would talk with the preschool and hopefully they should be able to come up with a plan to help settle her back in.
