Hi - this isn't about my child, we have the opposite issue, I don't even get a goodbye when she goes places !

But my friends' son has only been away from her once, when she was in hospital having her second child. She tried to leave him with us one time, when he was about two and he screamed for the first half hour, got better after that, but was still contstantly looking for his mum.

She has tried to get him to go to 3yo kinda, but he gets so worked up about it in the morning he goes, that by lunchtime when its time to go, he's beside himself.

I would like to help her, but apart from suggesting she just leaves him and he will get over it, I don't know what else to say !

thanks,
Barb.
