thanks for informations about baby sitter

My son used to go to family daycare and was unhappy for a few weeks when I left him but got better over time. I valve now started him at a daycare centre and it breaks my heart every time I leave him. He has been there 2 months now and he completely melts down. I know he is fine before I even leave the building, but still doesn’t make me feel any better. Ins starting my baby in a few months once he turns one so hopefully eliminate this issue I both boys

my eldest son started day care when he was 19 months old, his 1st week was fine, 2nd week he became stress and crying non stop. i stayed with him till he became comfortable with his carer and i found out that it was easy to leave him while he’s having morning tea. i gave him a quick kiss and goodbye then left. following week, i kept the same pattern until he got used to it and he started loving his day care.

I found my twins were really bad with one of there carers would mothers instinct told me there was something wrong and everyone told me it was just separation anxiety. We moved the girls to a child care centre and it was a totally different story. Took the girls a bit to settle but we tell the girls now. Mummy/daddy are going to work love you.

I think a good thing is to make sure that both you and your kids trust who you are leaving them with. I never was comfortable but was told I was just overreating.

Also I have been told that telling the older child the time that you will be returning (pointing on clock/watch) helps with their anxiety too.

my 3 1/2 yo twin girls started LDC about a year ago. one was fine and the other was hysterical about being left, even though her sister was there. it was very upsetting but eventually with the help on the staff we were able to ensure she had all the support things in place to help her over come this. eventually she got heaps better. it was really hard but now she is pretty good, although i did notice returning to care after the christmas holidays she was getting upset again… but the staff were really good once again and she is getting better.

When my son started daycare a year ago, when we leave him and say “Good bye, I love you” then he started to cry as he knew that we are leaving. But now he knows that Dad comes back to pick him up in the afternoon. So he is ok now.

I didn’t think about usiing the game hide and seek to help with seperation anxiety.. good tips

My son gets very upset when he wakes up to find that Daddy’s car has gone so that meant he didn’t get to say goodbye, so then my son has a cry.

My husband leaves for work while my 8 month old daughter is still sleeping and so doesn’t get to say “goodbye, I love you”. Fortunately my daughter doesn’t seem to mind as her face lights up when she sees daddy come through the door at the end of the day.

I have a disabled daughter who is 17 but with an age of 4/5 she gets anxious about everything it is very daunting to think that your child is afraid of most things that other children sometimes take in their stride

my son is 4 now, every day he will wake up and ask for his dad. And he will get angry and cry not sop when his found out that his dad is gone to work. It is very frustrate to see that.
