Why are you crying??

I would sit with her not watch her. She needs to be comfortable and you can help her interact with the others. Going to school is a big adjustment for a 3yr old. As long as she knows your there and will come she will be fine. I would give it a couple of weeks. After she fines one friend to chum around with it will get better. It does make your heart break. us mom's want to just fix it. She will come out of her shell.

Try to talk to her, or play with her and slowly she will tell you. I have this experience, when my son is two and a half I sent him to a child care centre. He was happy at first and started to cry, not eating, refuse to wake up in the morning, refuse to goes in when he reaches the school and refuse to goes to bed at night. I tried talking to him on the bed before he sleep one night and found out that his teacher slap him once when wake up crying from his afternoon's nap and the other time the teacher beat him for climbing onto a table. I confronted the teacher and she admitted so I change a school for him. Sometime is good to talk to them on the bed during bed time on the bed before they sleep. Hope this help.

You may have already solved this but your idea of attending daycare with her for a few days might help if she can't tell you what is making her very upset. Something or someone is bothering her I'm sure. Were you able to find out what it was? I hope she is ok!

Hi there, I sympathize with your situation. The only explanations that I could come up with is that either your daughter is afraid or upset with something at school, or because of something she is being prevented from doing at school. Being away from home is unsettling for some children her age, but crying every day means something is happening "around the time" that she is actually crying. Perhaps another child in the classroom upset her. Since she might be unable to express these feelings in words, she may just start crying when this child (or situation) continues upsetting her. Maybe there is something that happens during her school day that she is uncomfortable with. This could be something she is not used to, or something that she dislikes having to do, or not being able to do. So observing her in class is a wonderful idea. I think you will get your answer then. I know you will get to the bottom of this and everything will turn out well.

Has someone molested her? Perhaps a therapist could help. Something happened at school, I would talk to the teacher and the principle.

Man. I dunno. That's so sad. I think maybe she saw something that really freaked her out either on television or maybe even in her own classroom! I'm sorry that's happened...

My youngest child was so attached to me that he would make himself sick when he went to daycare. I eventually stayed home and had a home daycare myself until he was old enough to be all right without me.

With the way she is acting, I am sure something is not right. I hope you are able to figure out what it is.

My mother ran a nursery school, and had two twin girls, same age, who had the same prolem. Turns out the two had a severe case of separation anxiey, and just couldn't bear to be apart from their mother, even for a couple of hours.

I think that is a very good idea for you to go and watch your daughter and see what is going on there. You never know these days, what is happening. Something must be bothering her to make her cry and not want to nap or eat. I think she has to be afraid of something or the other. Maybe she just misses you. Have you asked her about it again to see if she will say what is going on there? I would definitely seek it out too.

hi 34 momma I bet your littlesweeti p;ie is being picked on by one ofthe other kids, maybe a biggerchild. thats'the way a lot of little kids act and since she has been going there awhile this is probably something that just started, maybe the teacher did not realize this, did not see the bullying as bullies can be very deceptive, and at three she would really not know what to do about it and just be really scared.so go to the school and obseve. she might just shy away from the person doing the picking on. hope thjis help;s

Few questions =). Does she go to school all day every day? When my 'baby' was three, er, three and a half, she was just going to preschool twice a week for about 3 hours a time. Aside from something happening, maybe the time is just overwhelming for her. Some kids do perfectly fine in daycare/school all day, other kids have a limit and once they reach it, they just can't cope, and it isn't a matter of anything being bad or wrong. I definitely think that going there and watching without her knowing may give you some insights. You would be able to see if she is okay and if anything in particular sets her off, or if it's nothing and she just misses you, etc. There was a little boy in my daughter's class whose mom pulled him out because he was crying all the time. Turns out that there were other boys being mean to him behind the teacher's back, yet she never caught the boys who were instigating it, she only caught Jake when he would try to defend himself, and since he's only 3 1/2, he had a hard time trying to explain so he spent so much time in trouble for nothing and the mean boys would tease him.

Maybe she's still adjusting there, I suggest you find her a friend in that school so that she won't feel lonely and scared. I think it's normal for kids to feel that way in school so just tell her that school is a fun place to be.

Oh, ur little girl just be afraid the strange circumstance.Maybe u can talk with her and let her knows she could make new friends in the school. And encourage her more active in school.

Awww momma,that's a shame about your baby girl. I assume she's been going to the school for a while and this has just started happening? If so, there must be a child who is bothering her. That's all I can think of. Are there any new teachers there? Something must have changed for her to suddenly be unhappy every day. Poor thing! My 3 year old niece hates her poreschool too and she cries a lot, but she's hated it since Day 1.

Something has happened somewhere that has really affected your daughter. If she is crying, not eating, and not taking naps, something is wrong. This has been going on for two weeks? Is there a counselor at her school? You may have to take her to see an outside counselor to see what has happened. I could see if this happened for a day or two and then she went back to normal, but two weeks is a long time. I remember you saying that your oldest son was going off to college, could this have something to do with it? I remember when me youngest niece was four years old, her five older siblings got a grant to go to a private Christian school. In order for her to go, my sister had to pay out of pocket. She tried to send her back to her old school and Brittany would have a fit. As soon as my sister got to work, she had to leave again to go pick up her child. Finally my sister realized that she would have to pay for her to go with the other children. Nothing else worked. It could be that your daughter does not see school as a good thing, because it is taking her big brother away. This is just a stab in the dark, but I tried.

I think your idea of watching without her knowing is a good one,however I wouldn't let the school know either if there is a way you can see in the windows,or watch on the playground.Maybe there is a child there that is teasing her,yet I would think the teachers would know that.certainly something is going on and it might be best to find another daycare. I used to sneak up and check on my daughters daycare,I know I over reacted but when I heard one of the teachers yell at my 2 year old to be quiet and stop crying that her mother would be there soon.I went in and took her by the hand and never brought her back.I think the teachers should be more used to consoling children who miss their moms it is only natural that they are going to cry for their mothers.I have been doing in home child care for years now,I am used to a child crying when their mothers leaves,however I have never had one that I couldn't console and get them playing within minutes after saying goodbye.If you know a particular child is going to cry you prepare for it,and have a consistent plan for dealing with it.There are all kinds of things to do to help a child through the separation anxiety. I would certainly be wary of why your daughter is crying now and having such a bad day,if she wasn't in the past.Something has changed to make he change. Good luck to you. Jas
