it was my youngests first day of kindy (nursery) today and he goes 2 full days and leaving him was so upsetting he was begging me to let him come home with me or go shopping with me anything but tostay there in the end i had to sneak out without him knowing im going to pick him up soon i hope he has been ok i feel like the worst mother in the world today

i had this at the beginning of the month, as soon as my daughter was tow i put her into nursery,she didn't like it much, just 3 afternoons to start.but she has got use to it.the worse thing to do is blame yourself, all kids will play up for mum esp when u are leaving them, they do usually calm down once mum is out of site.i went home feeling quilty but she was ok and now enjoys going.it only takes time

Liz and i took my grandson on his first day because his dad was down with flu,and the bairn raised the roof when we left him.When we wen't back to pick him up he raised the roof again ,he did'nt want to leave .Your child will be fine.Fred.ptfg&a&g&w.

Kylie been there mate it's so hard I remember standing out side the church where Joshua went to kindy and and bawling my eyes out he was screaming out I want my Mum please will you go and get her, and I could hear it all, I dragged my self home only 5 doors away and anxiously waited the two hrs. and when I went to get him he said" I'll come home for lunch but then I want to go back Mum cause its very good I have a friend and I can play with lots of kids", so after exlaining that he was only going 3 days a week for the morning session he was as happy as larry to go next time and was a bit of a pain asking every morning was it kinda day ? so your little one will be fine but here's a hug anyway ((( you ))) Love Laraine x

Hi I own a childrens nursery and I can reassure you that they are always ok. I know how you feel though as mine play me up and I'm there. Infact my children are always the loudest when I drop them off. Got it all to go through with my new baby when I go back to work. Hubby always says they are twice as bad for me and that they dont cry when he drops them off!! Liz

well picked him up and he was fine allday without me allthough to me 10 mins felt like 2hrs i was forever watching the clock ,he took his lunch but all he ate was his crackers asked him he ate the fruit at fruit time he said no dont like fruit so i knew he was ok just being himself asked if hes going tomorrow i said no in 2 days he said oh i wanna go school tomorrow so lets hope he is ok on thursday when he goes

Kylie, I know how you feel. My daughter cried for the first week and I was heartbroken. It was even worse the following week when she was having such a good time she wanted to stay there and not come home with me!! Jack x

Jack, I know what you mean, my daughter, on her first day, broke her heart because they wouldn't let her sleep there, she wanted be a boarder, I was upset because I thought I was a horrible mother when my child wanted to get away from me We mums just cant win! June xx
