Question About Daycare?

At 15 months he will adapt better than you will.

Chances are he will cry when you leave him for a few weeks (my son did that but once i left he was fine). Daycare workers are used to the anxiety experienced by both parents and children and will amke it as easy as possible for you. We found that for my son he was better if we just dropped him off with a quick kiss and hug and said 'i'll see you later' and left with no fuss. Once he gets used to their routine he will have fun and he will make new friends too.

You can always talk to the teacher or manager of the daycare about your worries too, they will be totally used to it and can help to reassure you. If your daycar4e is anything like ours they may also sazy you are welcome to visit yor child whenever you want to although i personally wouldnt advise that while he is still getting used to the place as it may upset him when you leave without him again.

He will probably go through some separation anxiety and cry at first, but he will adapt. However, be aware that instead of it taking 1-2 weeks for him to adapt, it could take closer to 4 weeks, this is because he will only be going part time, so it will take longer for him to get used to it. This is a good age for your child to learn to socialize with other children, so you are doing a good thing. Whatever you do, do not prolong the good bye at drop off. You need to make it short & sweet. The longer you piddle around & keep giving more hugs & kisses, the more he will throw a fit because he will realize that when he acts up it makes you stay longer. I can not stress that enough with parents. Usually once the parents are out of site, the child stops crying fairly quickly. Also keep in mind that this is the age when children may bite. Since your child isn't used to having to share or learn to interact with others his age, he may act out his frustrations by biting. He will grow out of it, but please, don't blame his biting on the daycare or other kids because it's just a natural thing for children to do at that age. Not all bad behaviors are learned from others, some bad behaviors kids just pick up on their own. I think your son is going to have a great time, so don't stress!

The first week will be hard, but he will get used to it. it's normal for him to cry the first few days, but once it becomes a part of his routine he will love it.
