hi everyone..
this is the first time I've had a mindee really upset about leaving mum.. he's 2years5mths .. and spent a few settling in days and then on his 2nd day he's intermittantly cried for mum .. I'd saying twice in a half hour period for 8 hours...
I've tried taking him out .. which works but when we come back to my setting it all seems to start off again unless the telly is on..:o ...
I've made up a visual timetable for him but I think having 7-8 activities before mum comes is all a bit too much.. I've got photos but he cries when he sees his mum.. and everytime he sees anything else (even my sofa) it all reminds him of home and he cries again. I remember feeling the exact same about my mum so my heart goes out to the lil chap ...
please can someone offer advice on what you would do.. he's really lovely when he is with his mum and obviously loves her ooddles but are there any really good techniques to help sooth him?
thanks a lotxx:)
