There is no way I could just leave my kid crying on the floor all alone. It's one thing it she's crying in the daycare lady's arms, because she's having some human interaction. But all alone?! So sad :( autumnlove on "If your LO cries at dropoff, do the daycare teachers pick them up?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-lo-cries-at-dropoff-do-the-daycare-teachers-pick-them-up#post-1636365 Thu, 15 May 2014 12:22:27 +0000 autumnlove 1636365@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Not always but they talk and comfort her. 78h2o on "If your LO cries at dropoff, do the daycare teachers pick them up?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-lo-cries-at-dropoff-do-the-daycare-teachers-pick-them-up#post-1636358 Thu, 15 May 2014 12:20:06 +0000 78h2o 1636358@https://boards.hellobee.com/ My Lo freaks out and sobs almost daily. They definitely pick her up right away if they can. Occasionally they are busy changing another baby or something and go to her right away... though usually I wait to leave until someone is available and then I hand her to that person. Usually they comfort her and tell her I'll be back, try to distract her, etc. Sometimes if her favorite teacher holds her before I leave, she won't even cry (esp. if it's later in the week, after she's used to going for a few days in a row). I don't think it's unreasonable to ask for them to comfort her, especially if it makes things easier for you. Can you give a snack at drop off? That also seems to help my LO. My husband dropped her off this morning before breakfast and he said she didn't cry when he left because she was busy eating.

I don't think it's unreasonable to ask at all.

It would bother me if they didn't try to console her I would hand her to the teacher next time - force her to hold her :silly: My 5 yr old still has rough drop offs and I will say to the teacher "can you grab him?" I don't expect her to pick up a 5 yr old but yes I expect her to distract him and move him away from the door sunny on "If your LO cries at dropoff, do the daycare teachers pick them up?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-lo-cries-at-dropoff-do-the-daycare-teachers-pick-them-up#post-1636293 Thu, 15 May 2014 12:06:33 +0000 sunny 1636293@https://boards.hellobee.com/ My LO cries at drop off everyday. The teacher in her current room doesn't ever seem to want to pick her up when she cries :-( In her last room, the teacher would pick her up or take her from me when I left. I feel like it's a little cruel to let her cry when I leave and I really wish someone would comfort her. They say that she stops crying after a minute but it would make me feel so much better if someone were holding her when she was crying. Is it unreasonable for me to ask that someone take her when I am ready to leave?
