I don’t know what to do anymore. My daughter has been going to preK for almost a year. Same preK. But she for the life of me has SO much anxiety about going into class. Some days she’s fine but most of the time she just won’t. She runs away from the door, hides by the wall, sometimes won’t even go near the class. I eventually get her in but most of the time i have to physically pick her up and carry her inside kicking and screaming….then she screams and cries because she wants me. It makes me feel awful. But then 5 minutes later she’s fine. I’ve tried EVERYTHING! Talking to her, letting her take a little toy, letting her take a snack, playing a walking game, acting like a character, everything…she won’t do this with her dad. Only me. I’m just at my wits end…
My twins done this- I wound up getting a mommy and me necklaces for them and told them everytime they needed me to touch the necklace and I would know…. Small thing but it helped.
My son was like this. What helped him was I got a little photo album and we put pictures of our family in it, me, his dad, sister, grandparents, even our pets. I told him that whenever he starts missing me to take the album out and look at it. That helped him out alot
She’s only doing this to you so it makes me think she likes the attention.
Don’t give her a chance to do it and don’t negotiate. Just pick her up, carry her in, say bye and leave.
If she doesn’t do it with Dad she’s not anxious she’s messing you around. Stop playing her games. Firm hold of the hand and take her in. Say goodbye and walk away. Guaranteed she’s settled in seconds and will stop her nonsense
Maybe she might be autistic or she might have a lot of screen time at home I had 2 children like this but not autistic too much screen time whatever we do about that they still teach our children screen time at school so we don’t win
