[quote=Anonymous]I wonder if you may have more success with graduated acclimation in terms of hours spent at the school. For example, I always did the following with my kids when they started daycare or started a new daycare -First week 2 hours (last day 3 hours) -Second week 4 hours (first day 3 hours by end of week 5) Third week, 6 (same structure as previous week) Fourth, 8 (" ") As long as they didnt struggle we kept increasing time spent. If there were 2 days in a row that were rough we kept the timing the same for a few more days. This way they knew we would come back. They gradually adjusted to the classroom schedule. They got the decompression time after being picked up and could co-regulate with mom. They got to know the teachers a little bit better. Daycare is stimulating and there was less overstimulation at the end of the day. I nurse past 1 year and cosleep and babywear and also use daycare. Try to do child-led etc. [/quote]
