[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just take him out. What's the rush. You're doing more harm than good subjecting him to such extreme emotions for no good reason.

Everyone told me to keep my small crying clinging kid in preschool so he could toughen up or whatever the perverse reasoning is, and I did it, but it was a huge mistake. He would have been much better off long-term by being "coddled" until he was older and better able to deal. I wish I had just withdrawn him until he was ready.[/quote]

Make your own decision, but I don't think taking him out is the thing to do. It's going to take a long time for him to get used to it because it's only two mornings a week. Think about how long a week is in the life if a two year old and you'll realize how far apart those half day sessions are. He can have fun there, though - he's proven that.

I wouldn't have recommended picking him up early, but I don't know your specific circumstances. If it really is the caring, quality preschool it seems, your child will be fine. It's important for kids to experience new things and new caregivers and you are really helping him by giving him a good school experience, event nought it's hard for him right now. [/quote]
