ADVICE ABOUT MY TWO YEAR OLD. MOTHERS PREFERABLY. THANKS?

Is it normal for my two year old daughter to still cry for me when I drop her off at daycare every morning? She doesn't do it every morning but she has done it every morning this week. At first I thought it might of had something to do with her sleeping patterns because she would go to sleep so late. But I have started getting her to bed early and she still cries. Plus she also throws these tantrums, which I am trying to ween her off of because she might be a little spoiled and trys to get her way. Any who though, I was getting worried that the daycare was getting fed up with this behavior, even though they reassured me that her tantrums reside after a while and that she is doing fine. It just hurts me to not know why she cries like this every morning. FYI. she has eczema, food allergies..and she has a very poor appetite.ADVICE ABOUT MY TWO YEAR OLD. MOTHERS PREFERABLY. THANKS?
My 21 mo cries when I drop her off in the morning and then cries when I pick her up... lol...





It breaks my heart to drop her off and just leave while she is crying, but I know she is fine and she usually forgets why she was upset after a few miutes. But its when I pick her up and she comes running for me, then when I say lets go bye bye, she doesn't want to leave all the fun she has had all day.ADVICE ABOUT MY TWO YEAR OLD. MOTHERS PREFERABLY.

My son (21 months) went through this stage for awhile which is perfectly normal. Eventually the stage will end it is just hard...broke my heart everytime he cried when I left! The best thing to do is try to occupy her when you drop her off and establish a set routine when you drop her off, I do the same thing when saying goodbye each day. It helped my son with this stage and again most kids go through an attachment stage.
i work at a daycare and i can assure you this is completely normal behavior, especially for a two year old. i wouldn't be worried at all. transitions from being with parents to going to school are stressful to children, has something switched in your routine lately? changes in routine can add stress to transition times
This is completely normal and you have nothing to worry about. She is just going through a little bit of separation anxiety..I bet she stops real quick after you leave, she will grow out of it. Just re-assure her that you love her, give her a hug and kiss and tell her you will see her later.





It breaks my heart when my 19 month old twins cry when I leave them. But I 鈾?the smiles they give when I return.
Some friends of mine own a day care and this is very common. Usually they stop crying and go play as soon as Mom is actually gone! It's like, ';OK, that didn't work.'; One mom was having trouble believing this, so they told her to drive around the block and come back and peek in the window. Her child was fine, and I bet yours is, too.
When my kids were at daycare, they had the exact same reaction. She misses you and she's wroried about you leaving; that's totally normal. It may take her awhile to get used to this new environment; she's still young and clearly depends a lot on you.
Very normal. Even my 5 year old still cries once in a while.
i think so long as she isnt crying all day long it's perfectly natural, my son is in a special program where he actually ride the bus to school twice a week (he is also 2) and some mornings he screams and crys about going on the bus but the driver assures me that he calms down quickly





and if your day care center was the type to get annoyed with your daughter for crying i'd recommend pulling her from that place... i know you said they dont but child care providers should expect some tears when mommy leaves
Well, besides enough rest and satisfied blood sugar (read: food in the belly) being enough to set off any small child, the years between 2-3 are an intense development period. Children are gaining a sense of identity, and becoming more independant from their mothers, but also need to be reassured that you're there to back them up. Reassure your daughter, and set aside time every morning and evening for just the two of you, reading a book or enjoying a snack, whatever. Do not become involved in the ciclicle daycare-work-dinner-bed-alarm-daycare-wo鈥?cycle.


Its not worth it.
