[quote=Anonymous]My 4yo has been at the same daycare/preschool for the last 2 years. She's moved up from 2s, to 3s now 4s. At some point during each of these classes, she has had LONG stints of crying at drop-off (like 1-3 months straight). Where she'll keep wanting to "stay with mommy" and be perfectly happy at pickup. I thought we were over this, but here we are again. 3 months later and after transitioning to her 4s class 2 weeks ago. The crying has started again during drop off. She has had contact and played with all the teachers during her time at the school, so what can I do?

I've tried talking to her before hand, "remember, you're a big girl now and big girls don't cry at school" or "no body else cries at school" or just ignoring it and moving on. I'm just out of ideas really at this point. Last time that this did stop was after I gave her a bribe, but that's not really something I want to keep up on a regular basis...but maybe another incentive?

Honestly, I know she's fine in class. I know she stops crying mostly after I leave...but still, it's unpleasant and makes me sad to see her upset ever day. I have not had to deal with this with my older 7yo so I'm a little baffled at the whole thing. Bring me some words of wisdom DCUM!
