He goes every day but gets picked up after nap. He cried or whined at drop off everyday for about 3 months. After the first couple of weeks he was fine during the day. He was no longer crying during the day just at drop off. Everything was cool for several months but recently he began crying at drop off again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-lo-was-older#post-2231228 Thu, 09 Jul 2015 09:49:01 +0000 birdofafeather 2231228@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>R started 2 day a week all day preschool at 2y3m and she did great! She naps great there and she loves it. She had some separation anxiety but nothing out of the ordinary and the teachers were great about attending to her until she was playing with all the kids (maybe a few minutes). I basically drop her and head out to make the transition easier. If I stay talking too long she thinks I'm staying! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-lo-was-older#post-2231216 Thu, 09 Jul 2015 09:43:14 +0000 looch 2231216@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah, the adjustment period was long, I started my son in daycare when he was 2 and it took about 3 months to get him there through the afternoon nap. He was used to doing things on his own schedule, so we didn't force it and we had the ability to be flexible.</p> <p>I think it's personality though, my son is very inflexible and doesn't adapt quickly to change. Every time we change classes or he has new kids/teachers in the class, he has an adjustment period. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-lo-was-older#post-2231196 Thu, 09 Jul 2015 09:37:48 +0000 rachiecakes 2231196@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>J was almost 2 when he went to an in-home daycare part time. I worried about him but joke was on me because he couldn't wait to get there and cried when I came to pick him up!<br /> He started preschool last fall and the toughest thing has been his sleep. He's exhausted when he gets home and if I'm not constantly talking to him, giving him something to do, he'll fall asleep while I'm making dinner, putting things away, etc. And that can't happen because he won't STTN if he takes that late of a nap. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-lo-was-older#post-2231176 Thu, 09 Jul 2015 09:32:29 +0000 mrsjyw 2231176@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>when they went off to preschool/kingergarten/primary care (outside of family)... was there a transition period? How long did it take for them to get used to their new normal and being with someone else other than family?</p> <p>DS is starting preschool in the fall (just shy of 3 yo) and we're really excited to get him some structured activity and socialization outside of the comfort of our family/friends circle. But, I know that there will def be a transition period for him to get used to his new normal.</p> <p>Just wondering how toddlers, older children do adjusting to care outside of the home? </p>
