My 3 year old had her first try of Nursery today..she was there from 9.00am till 11.45am....she was fine when I said goodbye and went off quite happily..when I got there to pick her up she was happily glueing a picture...the teacher said that at 11.30 she got tired and wanted me...there were some tears...she had red eyes when I saw her at 11.45 but was taling to other kids and playing...does this sound ok to you? Is it normal? she starts properly in January.

Sounds very normal and actually great! My 3 year old son also attends school during the day. I can attest to you that 3/4 of my son's class freak out EVERY day since school started and cry and scream when dropped off... still! Now I'm lucky... my son doesn't ever freak out, but he's very confident and independent. It sounds like your daughter is pretty confident also! The fact that she got tired and thought of your comfort is pretty normal, and a good testament to your parenting. I think she'll do great, so don't give up! It's a great opportunity for independence and socialization! Best of luck to you!!

believe me this is normal. I work at a daycare. The first little while when I child is getting use to not being with their paretns for a long period of time, there are tears. This usually happens when the parents drop them off, or when the child is tired/ it's nap time. We cuddle the children, give them hugs, and if they are having a hard time we'll even rock them to sleep (and this is in the senior room, ages 3.8-6.). So sometimes even the 5 or 6 year olds will miss their parents. It's normal. And it's nothing to worry about, I'm sure the staff there will take good care of your child and just reassure her that you will always come back for her.
Also, I find that it helps some children if they have a favourite stuff toy, if you send it with them. It's something familiar from home and it's often comforting.

Sounds to me like it bothers you more then her. She will be just fine it is a part of life that all children have to face. Better now then when they are 5 or 6 years old in Kindergarten crying their eyes out b/c they miss mommy. It will be easier to leave her as time goes on and before you know it you little girl will be begging you to take her to daycare.

All children go through a transitional stage for being away from a parent, it part of growing up.
Remind her of how much fun she had. Be positive with your remarks and listen to her. Encourage her and tell her how proud you are that she is being a big girl for going to the Nursery etc...
Your positive support and attitude will help her be more confident and less afraid

it sounds perfectly normal to me i used to work in a playgroup and one child cried after his mum but when she was gone 5 min he played away quite happily although he always wnated to be near to me. Your daughter just needs to adjust and that will take a little time but soon she will be great

Doesnt sound like they are going to "consumate" the marriage, theres no spoilers for the subsequent 2 weeks indicating it occurs. the only spoilers are that a) "Sharon is torn between Adam and Victor" b) Victor and Nikki reunite. "Sharon torn between Adam and Victor" may well be examine as 2 techniques, the two Victor is making use of her to ruin Adam and he or she doesnt % to circulate alongside with it yet on a similar token doesnt % to betray Victor the two. the 2d way it must be examine is Victor and Nikki get closer (ties in with the 2d spoiler) and Sharon is jealous approximately it, yet nonetheless has a torch fr Adam.

She will be great. It's just growing pains. For both of you. Give her some time and know that you are doing the right thing for her! Good luck.

Perfectly normal! It's an adjustment for your toddler and they probably just missed you. Don't even worry it will be easier and easier the longer they are in day care.

Most definitely. It sounds like she actually did better than most children when you first left. Separation anxiety is very common.
