DD still cries every time at daycare. Almost 2 months.

[Anonymous]

My dd attends a daycare where they have cameras and so I can see her everyday. She is 2 years old and started about a month and a half ago going 2/week. She cries everyday at drop off and during the day. She spends most of the day standing alone and crying while looking at the other kids. She doesn’t try to play or play with the other kids. I was told it can take some time, especially because she is part-time. I didn’t have this issue with my 3 year old. She did cry at drop offs for a week and half but now she loves it there.

I keep being told to give it time but she just looks miserable.

I meant to say this isn’t normal, right? I’m not sure what I can do.

They reach age 2 and you think that you've got it easy, then BAM the 24 month old starts acting like a baby.

It’s gonna take some time because you’re starting her at a very difficult age and only part time. Adjustment process is being dragged out.

Many kids need a week and a half to two weeks of going full-time every day to get adjusted. Some kids jump right in and have no issues but it doesn’t seem like your daughter is that.

It’s sad and hard, but she will be fine. It’s probably just that with 2 days/week and her temperament the adjustment process will take a long time.

If you can’t stand it any longer, it’s fine to look for an alternative like a sitter. But she will be OK, she really will.

Ours never adjusted. We found a new school and he loved it.

I think if you don't need childcare then you pull her and enroll her fulltime when she is 3 years old.

2 days/week is very very difficult - they aren't in care enough days to get used to the differences between home and the program.

But she also seems to have a slower to warm up personality, and that's fine, but it's going to be really hard for her to do part time. And if she's still crying all day or mostly all day, that's a miserable existance for her. I'd pull her but enroll her when she's 3 or 31/2 but full time - or at last M, W, F - 3 days/week so she "feels" like it's been all week vs W, Th, F because there are too many days between F and Wed when she goes back.

2 is too old to send to a facility daycare or center.

Is better to send as early as 3 or 5 months old so they get used to the daycare home routine, schedules, education, etc like school

It will take some time.

Find a small daycare home. Center might be too big for her, too much. Young kids to to play

Play is so important for young children

Try to discipline your child at home. Many are spoiled and cries for not getting what they want whenever they want.

They need to learn No and to wait

Happened to my son @2yo we took him out after 2 days. Wasn’t the right fit. He went to pre-k3 and was fine

What is wrong with you? How is a child being sad when left in a daycare environment lack of discipline? You sound like a jerk who shouldn’t work with children.
