    Smile Completley different child today!!!!

    Not sure if you remember my post from last wednesday but i'm settling in a 2 year old 1 day a week till he starts full time with me in september.
    His first day was last wednesday and he freaked out so much i cried when he went home!
    Today i was really dreading it! I wanted to change tactics today and not let mum sneak out. I told him to give her a kiss and say goodbye and that mum would come and collect him soon. He did this and that was that!!!

    Worked great!
    Had not one single tear!!!

    mum was astonished! He's with another cm who he's leaving to come to me. Mum told me he's been with her a year and still cries when he see's her. Mum was gobsmacked that he's only been with me twice and didn't cry today!!

    Yipee i feel so much better now. He's coming 2 days next week so looking forward!

    Well done!

    I had a little boy come for a visit, and when mum said it was time to go he had such a hissy fit... I hope he doesn't do that every single day, he starts in Sept.

    I take it mum was ok with going along with making him say goodbye this week?

    It definitely works better - I am not a fan of the sneaking out. I dont think it does the children any favours and doesnt teach them the lesson about parents go away but then they come back.

    Glad today was better and more positive.
