Toddler Screams At The Door At Drop Off...

[SilverSabre25]

I have noticed a pattern with my dcks that there is a bout of separation/transition anxiety right around 28-32 months or so. I have two dcks who are about four months apart and they went through this...about four months apart. Both sets of parents expressed concern, and both kids resolved at about the same age, respectively.

The worst part, if one cries in my daycare, the rest of the smaller ones will start screaming as well. So now I have 3 screaming!! UGHH!!!!

Yeah I have one like that too. If anyone cries, he gets scared & starts to scream. Isn't that so much fun when that happens? (not)!

Ugh, I had a kid like this too. His parents didn't like him crying. They would try staying until he became involved in play. He would still cry when they left. Even though I told them many times it was completely normal developmental stage and that he stopped within minutes of them leaving, they thought he was trying to tell them something- that he didn't like it at my house. Ultimately they pulled him. Not quite the same situation as you, thankfully. But I have to admit that I wasn't too disappointed by them leaving. Mom was a SAHM, so it wasn't like they had to rush to find another DC.

Yeah this worries me sometimes. He has so much fun while here, but has such a screaming fit at the door. This morning it was bad again. Argh. I had a bunch of toys right there for him when he came in & kept the drop off super short as usual. He stopped right after I shut the front door. I feel like hes saying that he hates it here. But he really does have fun while here and when his mom picks up he doesn't want to leave. It makes me feel bad because I dont want her to think he hates it here. I'm hoping it gets better this week. Hes been back from vacation for over a week now. Maybe the weekend weirded him out again. His mom says she knows he loves it here but hes just going thru a weird separation anxiety stage. I'm glad she realizes that but hope she really means it. Would **** if she pulls him out because of his weird stage.
