Hi there All

I have had my 19month DS in FDC for just on 4 weeks for 2 days a week and he HATES IT!! - He cries the minute we drive into the street.

He cries the whole day the only time he isn't miserable is when the carer is holding him - which unfortunately she is not prepared to do all day long.

He is suffering extreme seperation anxiety - and always has - however now he won't even go to places where he once felt secure.

What I am wondering is:

Have you been through this and does it stop??
How long does it it take to stop??
Would he be better suited in a larger child care facility where there are more carers that can atleast hold his hand when he is upset??

Any suggestions on how to deal/resolve this situation would be greatly appreciated.

I am at my wits end and feel terrible leaving him there.

What would you do in my situation.

TIA
