Hi all, I've got a mindee who turned 1 last week, he's been with me three days a week since January and settled really well. He did go through a stage after about 6 weeks of starting with me where he cried and sobbed the whole time at playgroups unless he was being held by me. This went on for about 5 weeks before me and his mum thought he was overtired (as he was going to about 4 groups a week between me and his mum!) so we reduced it to just one on a Tuesday as this was the one he was always happy at.
All has been well until today. His mum dropped him off and said that he's been very clingy all weekend and wanted to be held the whole time at playgroup yesterday. At my setting he has been very happy, giggles, smiles, babbles and crawls around exploring and playing with his favourite toys, however when we got to playgroup he sobbed unless being sat on my lap. When he settled I sat him on the floor next to me but again, hysterical crying until he was on my lap.
This is what happened before and although its only been today, I wondered if anybody has experienced this and has any advice? I am really reluctant to also give up this playgroup if this continues as it is not fair on my two children who love going, however it does really limit my interactions with my other two as I have another non walker who also needs attention.
Any advice please????
