Leaving your child in daycare and going to work is always hard, I know. I think the first thing that’s important is to believe that you are doing that for your child and your family and that’s a good thing.
A positive way to look at it is, it’s a good thing for kids to grow up with a small group of friends to play with, as well as for parents to have that time during the day where they are just adults. I think it makes the time with their kids even more special, too.
I understand that it’s even more difficult to leave your child if they’re crying, but rest assured, the crying stops almost immediately once a parent leaves. I have also discovered the best way to help your child, is to be positive about his/her day, give a kiss and hug, say goodbye and leave quickly. This makes the transition SO much easier. If your child sees that you feel good about the situation, they’re going to feel good about it too, even if they still cry every time you leave them. Some kids just do but I’ve never had one that isn’t happy and playing within a matter of minutes.
