SB - Thanks for your reply. I think you are spot on with your observations. It seems that everything that Sara used to be easy with is now a challenge because she has become very clingy. Bedtimes used to be a breeze, a quick book, a song and a kiss then lights out...Now she prolongs me leaving to the best of her ability iykwim.

The communication with Sara's teacher is excellent and I am not affraid to talk to her at all. We have pinpointed that nap time is an issue.

So last night I got Sara to pack her bag with me ( I normally do this) and whilst we were doing this I chatted to her about nap time at daycare. We packed a special teddy for her to cuddle and a favourite book. I told her to get it out of her bag when she is sad...Well this morning there was no complaining about going and not one tear....Lets hope it stays this way
