My LO has recently been suffering with a bad case of separation anxiety. She goes to nursery twice a week and normally runs through the door excited but the last week She’s been screaming and clinging to me - it’s just heartbreaking. I’m assured she settles quickly when I leave but I can’t shake the feeling all day that I left her so upset. Also at bedtime she only wants me to do bath and stories. I’ve had to work the last few nights and my OH said she literally screamed the house down for me. I told her I was leaving said goodbye and that I’d see her in the morning which she happily nodded to but my OH said when it came to it she was hysterical. My question is do I give in to her demands at bedtime and always do bed and bath when she asks for me or should I practice separating from her even though it makes her upset. Also any tips for nursery drop off? How long does sep anxiety last at this age? I feel so sad that she’s sad and just want to do the right thing. I just worry giving into her could make it worse? I’m back on day shifts so will be around in the evenings so could put her down every night but it’s nice for my OH to share the load - especially as I solo parent her the days she’s not in nursery (no family input etc). Anyone been through similar with this age? X
