I left Jason freaking out - at school today

ediep wrote: I was in tears, he was crying, it was horrible!!

It is his third day and he really didn't want to go. I don't know what to do. He has been there 1 1/2 hous now and they haven't called me, so I guess he must have calmed down. On one had, I know this will be good for him and me but I feel so guilty.

Please send some stay strong support for me and my baby boy! I am soooo nervous right now!

coasterqueen replied: Ahh, ((HUGS)) Edie. I bet he quieted down as soon as you left . Kylie did/does this on occassion when I drop her off at daycare and my sitter always tells me that she quiets down within minutes of me leaving. I bet that's what he's doing.

mckayleesmom replied: Sorry sweetie......don't worry...he will be ok. He just has to learn the fun things and then it won't be so bad. Maybe you can talk to the teacher about making him a helper or something...kids like going places where they feel important.

Josie83 replied: Oh Edie poor you and poor Jason!! Believe me I know how heartbreaking this is for you because I went through it all with Cassie. but like you say it is doing you both good in the long run. its understandable him being confused and wanting to go home with you where he knows. but I'm sure that after a while he'l be used to it and not even looking back when you leave. I know how hard it is though to both of you xx

ammommy replied: Edie, I know how hard it is because Megan is doing the same thing. She calms down within minutes of me leaving, though. Occasionally through the day she asks about me, but is OK. It's heart wrenching to watch, but it's good for him in the long run.

moped replied: Oh that is just so hard for everyone, but it is good for him to go I think......I feel so sad to hear those stories.

Luckily for me my best freind and cousin (we pretend Jacks Auntie) is his daycare if DH can't be home so he is perfectly happy to see me walk away. SOmetimes I wish he would notice that I leave..........

Sorry, he will do better

MommyToAshley replied: Aweee, Edie, I can imagine how hard that must have been. But, I bet the others are right and he was fine after you left. I am sure they would have called you if he was still upset. Hang in there, it will get better!

Sending you lots of hugs and support to get through the day.

I am a little nervous about Ashley starting pre-school ... I may be posting the same thing in a few months.

Sunflower04 replied: I know how you feel. Joey has been doing the same thing except I am only dropping him off with his Grandmother.

When Joey is in school I give him his breakfast there so before I leave I would open his breakfast for him to give to his teacher. She would then take him over to get a plate and I would leave. Once I started this I had no problems. Maybe you can try it or send him with some fruit. Then he will be busy he will forget to get upset.

mammag replied: I'm sooo sorry you guys are having such a rough time of it. Big hugs!!!

booey2 replied: Hugs to you, it will get easier. Them not calling is a good sign.

Josie83 replied: Any update yet Edie? xx

ediep replied: hi everyone!! thanks so much for the support.

When I went to pick him up his class was outside on the playground. He saw me and kept playing. his teacher said that he had a much better day!! He played with the kids and the the toys. She told me that after I left a little boy in his class came over to jason and hugged him and told him not to worry. How cute is that????

She also got him to drink some milk!!!

mckayleesmom replied: thats good....way to go Jason....He probably is shocked when you drop him off until he realizes he has fun there.

DansMom replied:
Poor Jason and Mommy! He's adjusting to the change---at least it sounds like things ended up ok. But it's hard as heck to leave your kid crying for you, isn't it? Daniel clamored and cried when I left this morning, and that is very, very unusual. Something in the air?

amynicole21 replied: This still happens with Sophia at least once or twice a week, and she's been in daycare since she was 9 weeks old She is the exception though, not the norm. Jason will get used to it soon, just give it a bit of time. I know how hard it is, though

A&A'smommy replied: AWWWWW how sweet of that little boy!! Poor Jason I know that must be rough on you Edie but I'm sure it will get better!!! ((((HUGS))))
