My girl just started going to child care this week. She cries badly when I'm not there. Even when I go back to pick her up, her eyes are all red and puffy. On her second day I let her wear my watch to calm her down. But the teacher asked me to removed it, my girl cried when I tried to remove it so I told the teacher to just let my girl hold it. What are some of the things you will leave with your child at CC to assure her that mummy is coming back to pick her up?

Hello there! They take a while to settle down, what you can do to reassure her is to start a routine from the moment she wakes up until the moment you drop her off - simple things could be getting dressed for school, having milk/snack before school, carrying her otw to school etc - all the way talking to her about what she can expect in school and what time you'd be coming to pick her up ... and then keep your promise! It takes a while for them to build rapport with the teachers, but it'll be fine after :) My son took 1.5-2 weeks to settle down (not crying when I drop him off), and then he moved on to love school ... a little too much :x
