My mother in law babysat my daughter from the time she was an infant until she was a little over two. At that time I enrolled her in a daycare (the same one she attended hapily as an infant). She cried every single day I dropped her off for six months. I finally couldn't take it anymore and switched daycares. She has been at this one for a month and is crying harder than ever. My first child never cried at daycare, but attended from birth until kindergarten. What can I do to stop this? I know grandma spoiled her a bit, but shouldn't she be over it by now!

She is probably having a little seperation anxiety. Try leaving a little early in the mornings so that you can spend a few extra minutes soothing her. Also try taking her to where some of the other kids are playing in the room and get her involved in playing with them. Never sneak off without her knowing. This can be very traumatic. Just make sure she knows you are coming back. By the way, I work at a day care. We have many kids that have this issue. She just loves her mommy.

There may be several reasons for her crying. I have taught kindergarten for 5 years and now work in daycare. Firstly, have you checked with staff how long she does it for? Often children only cry when their parents leave and are fine moments later. Secondly, have you taken time with her at daycare to reassure her that this is an ok place to be? Thirdly do you make a big deal out of leaving her. Parents can often make things worse for a child by making a big deal out of it themselves with the whole 'mummy loves you, mummy doesn't want to leave you' kind of thing. My advice is a nice big kiss and cuddle 'have a nice day darling' is fine.

She is having seperation anxiety. Sometimes it last for a long time, sometimes a short period of time. Now that she is older she understand more that you are leaving her, and therefore sperationi anxiety sets in. She may stop crying a few minutes after you leave, have you asked the teachers if she does that?

Its normal it is called separation anxienty. It will end eventually. My friends daughter still has it and she is 8 years old. It comes and goes. Chances are that a few minutes after you leave she stops. All kids are different, don't worry she will grow out of it.

because the baby is older and understands a little more, and also moods change as they get older, next year the baby might cry when it leaves day care.

How sad. Perhaps she is tired of being raised by strangers.
