[quote=Anonymous]This is probably just a phase, and it will pass. At around that same age, my daughter was still crying every day when I left her at daycare. (on the bright side, she was REALLY excited to see me every night.) My ex has my daughter twice a week, so there's a mom-to-dad (or vice versa) transition at least once a week. We just treat it like no big deal, say goodbye with something like "I love you. I'll see you Wednesday" and we get out the door. And like another PP, we also really "sell" everything that happens so she'll get excited about it. I even conned her into going to multiple open houses with me every weekend for a month (and being ok with it) by telling her, "We're going on an adventure! We're going to find a house!" I think you can talk kids into almost anything if you make it sound really, really exciting. (my daughter eats broccoli because the stalks are little "trees.")[/quote]
