[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This isn’t going to be helpful for people who have kids who are already older, but if you are reading this discussion and thinking how can I avoid this with my future child and/or infant, the answer is daycare!!! My child has no issues separating because they and their daycare peers learned to trust other adults and develop confidence from a young age. My child expects to have fun and enjoy herself without me being there, so she does. Waiting until a child is ready for prek4 or older increases the chances that there will be separation issues because it’s a new skill that has to be developed. [/quote]

I wrote a list of suggestions above.  [b]My kid was in daycare from infancy[/b].

That is nothing to brag about at all, and it doesn't even guarantee that the child will handle K without separation anxiety. If anything, kids who formed a strong bond with a primary caregiver during infancy feel more secure about attending preschool away from mom and dad, and then real school.[/quote]

Right, I wrote a list of suggestions because my kid struggled so much with transition.  I'm not bragging. I am saying that daycare wasn't the solution.  [/quote]
