It’s all been so lovely watching India grow and develop into the most hilarious little baggage ever - exploring all the new things every day brings, has been a joy.
Yesterday and this morning however were my biggest trials with her - ever.
She has gone up a class at nursery, and she is SO unhappy.
Sobbing, hanging onto my legs... I can hear her cry from the entrance. Leaving her as I know I must has been the greatest challenge of my life. I can’t protect her from this next stage of growing up. I can’t wrap her up and keep her back where she’s comfy. I Know this awful phase will pass, but I hadn’t realised just how hard it would be for us both. Mummies do you have any advice ? 💔

As someone who used to work in nursery and lower foundation in school, I promise you the tears soon stop. Even if they start again when she sees you at the end of the day, I promise once you're out of site she will soon be happy and playing. In the meantime I'm sure she gets plenty of cuddles from staff, and even other children. It is horrible to leave them, but children that attend nursery cope so much better with the transition to school, plus her life will be so enriched by it. My son is 3 and I'm amazed by some of the things he comes out with that he's learned at school. My daughter now loves school, but she went through a phase of being clingy. I told her the rules were that parents weren't allowed in the classroom, but I'd sit in the parents room and have a cup of tea until I was sure she was OK, it really calmed her down. Yes it was a little fib, but I knew the school would ring if she didn't settle so I'd be back in a flash if she needed me. You'll get through this and when she's flying high as a grown woman, she will thank you for the emphasis you put on a good education from the start.

I used to go to nursery a little earlier with my youngest so on the days when she felt a bit overwhelmed I could stay while she adjusted/settled. Some days she just ran in and I wouldn’t even get a goodbye which were great (even though I was a little miffed she didn’t even throw me a waive goodbye ?) but sometimes I was finding myself peeling her from my leg and trying to hurdle over the gate as quickly as possible! Consistency was key and talking on the way about what she liked about nursery helped as it Gave her something to look forward to on the way! Our nursery also gave her pictures at pick up time which we would colour when we got home before tea and she couldn’t wait to take in next day to show everyone! Good luck and it does ease in time! And believe me it gets better

Unfortunately for my son it just didn’t work. He ended up hating nursery and I couldn’t deal with the upset it caused him, we went through it for 7 months thinking oh next time will be better. While nursery is amazing for some for some it just doesn’t work, we found an amazing childminder who he absolutely adores. He’s a home boy and loves the comfort of being at home so childminder works for us, mind she takes him everywhere and he gets to go to different groups so he gets the social aspect of a nursery but on a more intimate level.
I’m sure because she’s been ok before she’ll soon settle but if not there is always other options. Also 2 years is huge for the emotional development so will be a mixture of everything ?

I know this well! My daughter is a very similar age to India. My poor heart has been through the ringer but you must remember that she is totally fine a few mins after you've gone and ultimately they play up for us mum's. They know what buttons to press! One thing I now do is tell my daughter that she's going to nursery a few times through the morning before we leave and talk about all the great things she's going to do there. Be positive about it with her and tell her she's going to have lots of fun and a great day. That's what my nursery recommended I do. They will have days they whinge about it but i have days when I don't want to go to work...still have to sadly! Good luck she will be fine!

I really feel your pain. When my little boy moved up a class at nursery, roughly ages two, he began to behave similarly. H sobbed when I left, clinging on to me. His key worker would have to wrench him off me. I’d then leave for work and have a cry in the car. It lasted a few months. I tried to take him a bit earlier than I needed to and play with him for 5 mins before saying a very clear goodbye with one kiss and then go. I just kept reinforcing the same routine. I don’t whether it was the routine or he just “grew out” of it but it eventually got better. I also think it got better when he became more socially aware of “friends”. Sending you positive thoughts as it’s horrible to go through.

I’m not a mummy but i am a practitioner in a nursery and trust me as hard as it is the best thing to do is drop and run! They often come in teary but the nursery should have a lot of distractions in place for little children that get upset. 9 times out of 10 they often have a cry then a cuddle then they are absolutely fine. Xx it’s just making sure that the setting she is in has everything to distract her from crying so she’s Exicted to go. Another thing is to say you’ll pick her up after lunch! They never often remember but it gives them that initiative to leave you as they think they will be getting picked up. It’s hard but it does get easier for the both of you I promise ????
