[quote=Anonymous]My 2 year old is doing awesome this week starting daycare the first time ever, and he is no longer crying anymore at drop off or pick up. He is there for 8-9 hours straight from monday, just nap is still not going well but overall he is doing good.

One thing is that I am told by teacher that he holds onto his comfort item, teddy bear 24/7 during the entire day at daycare, from eating, playing at playground, playground inside classroom to drawing etc. He does not need that comfort item at home till his bedtime in his bedroom.
Because his hand is always busy holding onto that teddy bear, so it does limit his interaction/participation with other kids/teacher and it also thus steal his attention because he plays with it. He is my first child, when is the appropriate time to phase out that teddy bear from his hands at daycare, except afternoon naptime? I highly doubt that once they get rid of his teddy bear, he may cry and whine more at the daycare. Right now, I am told that he does not cry at all full day at daycare.[/quote]
