[quote=Anonymous]It's probably because of or at least exacerbated by your husband's traveling. Kids process change differently. And there are "waves" of separation anxiety. I don't think my son had it at 19 months, but he definitely had a new wave of it around 14 months. I don't know what your morning routine has been. Has it been a quick drop-off? Or do you linger for 10 minutes or so until your child is settled? I find that a quick drop-off is better and that my son cries or clings for 30 seconds or so after I leave, but then he's fine. (We've had this issue on and off for years, and yes, I called day care a lot). I also used to talk about the exciting things he was going to do that day at "school," on the car ride over to day care. And finally, definitely talk to the day care teachers about this. They can ease the transition by getting him immediately involved in some little activity when he arrives. [/quote]
