separation anxiety
its been 4 days since i put my 14month old son in day care. The first three days i stayed around and that wasnt such a great idea since he always ran to me crying and wanted me to pick him up. Yesterday i decided to leave him for a while.....waiting in my car. i could hear him crying from the car! He stopped a couple of times. He didnt want to eat lunch with the other kids. When i picked him up he was screaming and i knew he's been crying for a while because he couldnt catch his breath. Im heartbroken when i see this and today i dont think i have the heart to leave him once i reach the day care. If anyone can give me any tips i'd really appreciate it. thanx

Gosh, I've been struggling with the whole issue of letting go lately too and writing about it on my blog.
My thoughts are that the crying is natural in the beginning, but if it doesn't subside after days/weeks, you may have to reconsider your decision. Is this the right day care for him? Is it the right time? I was planning to put my daughter in day care but felt that she needed more time at home with me before she was ready. Now I've picked one that offers a v. high level of emotional support--which means her transition is more likely to be successful.
It's hard either way...stay strong and tuned into your child.
