Does she have special needs? Why is the drop off “brutal”?

Give it time. I would respond with kindness and love, but don’t let this turn into a bed swap free for all every night. Figure out what is an acceptable choice in the middle of the night and do that quietly without a lot of emotion and attention.

DD has been struggling with the start of preschool - drop offs have been brutal. Since school started last week, she has started waking multiple times per night. She used to sleep soundly through the night. Stress?

Any recommendations to help with this transition?
