[quote=Anonymous]We have been in a similar situation and I think it's more that my son hates the separation part and wants to stay home with me sometimes. He is 3.5 and will start again next month so we'll see how he does. Last year it was just half day and he was extremely happy Sept-Jan then all of a sudden began protesting drop off. The teachers told me he calmed within 1 minute and immediately began engaging in activities. He didn't cry after that. Like your child, he's hsve mornings he'd wake up and begin saying he didn't want to go. It's hard! We let him stay home once or twice then it got worse because he thought he could sway us. He went to a camp this summer and was ok at first again then did the crying at drop off on day 3 or 4. Again was told he snapped out of it as soon as he realized he was stayhng. With my son, once we became consistent and stopped coddling too much when he started the protests, the crying did stop. There was a girl in his class that would cry for a long time after mom left and sometimes more throughout the morning - I think that's different.

The funny thing is that during camp this summer he told me he really missed his school and wanted to go there. We'll see how this Sept goes in our case ... But OP I think like others have said, you need to get to the bottom of whether it's a separation issue or truly not liking the school/teacher/?. [/quote]
