At night my son starts crying because he says he's going to miss me when he goes to school the next day. The the next morning right before school he does it again. How can I help him not miss me during school. He's in 2nd grade and hasn't done this since he was in kindergarden. I'm not sure why he's doing it again now.

There must be something going on at school that he does not like. He might just be using the excuse of missing you so that he can let out his emotions. Talk to him and see if there is an underlying problem...with the teacher or maybe peers.
If he has all of a sudden started doing this in 2nd grade then I would bet that something else is going on.

Call the teacher. Find out what's going on in class. Does he cry in class? Is he getting picked on? Is he having a hard time with the work? Maybe he doesn't like school for some reason and he's saying that he misses you and that's why he's crying. If all is good at school then think about other things like are you busy when he gets home that the two of you don't have Mom-son time? Is there a new baby in the house? He might be jealous that the baby is home with you and he's not. Take time out to spend with him to let him know how special he is to you. Send little notes with him to school in his lunch.

Speak with teacher as previously mentioned.
An idea, Maybe you can laminate a photo of each of you. Show him both and give him the photo of you to sit on his desk. tell him that you will be keeping his photo prominantly displayed also. Maybe you could also write a note telling him that you love him and are looking forward to seeing him later, and put it in his lunch to let him know that you are thinking about him while he is gone. When he gets home give him extra attention and tell him that you love him (knowing that you are loved can help create confidence).

He's having separation anxiety. Something or someone is bothering him at school. Just casually talk to him about school stuff he may reveal his problem. In the mean time take a picture of yourself and give it to him and explain that even though you are not with him that he can always look at the your picture anytime and that your always with him .

He might be getting picked on at school. Call his teacher for a conference.
