[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I really disagree with the cold turkey posters. To go from Mom 24/7 to no Mom at all will really stress your daughter out. I think the easiest way to transition is for you and the nanny to take care of her together for a few days while she gets used to the nanny. Then you start sitting at your kitchen table and working and not really paying attention to her so she will naturally start gravitating to the nanny who is able to give her full attention. When she is comfortable with the nanny then start going into another room.[/quote]

Before I was a preschool teacher I would have said this same thing—gradual to not upset the kid. Now that I’m a teacher I agree with the PPs who said to go to your room and not come out the rest of the day. Nanny shouldn’t let the daughter come up to the door even. The drawing it out tactic will just lengthen the stress your clingy daughter will go through. It’s not like she’ll never see mom, she just won’t see mom during working hours. [/quote]
