Desperately in need of advice!

[Inspired by Reggio]

Ya - with newbies like that who have not really be 'prepared' for daycare beforehand by being left with others to learn to trust mom and dad come back and others can meet their needs I too am one to 'keep em close' whenever possible during the first week so that they can learn to trust their new environment free of the 'anxiety' of being left alone on the floor with 4 other busy children they do not know ... so I am either holding them, sitting beside them touching them with a hand of comfort or within whatever reach they show they are comfortable with - however if I have to 'leave the room' I take them with me if need be to prevent the 'don't leave me scream' ... as they get more comfortable with that level of trust and trusting I am going to feed em and change em and help them to sleep and keep them safe I start 'weaning' back the tether so to speak and working on that 'delayed gratification' ... playing games like peekaboo and moving further away in play times when they are happy and making em wait a little bit before 'picking them up' so forth until we finally reach that sweet spot of being able to PEE without them loosing their little noddle that we are gone forever and their friend is going to eat them or something in our absence

It has been five weeks since my newest started he is now 10 months old and he has been coming in with a smile since about the 6th day and able to play and be happy with me right there within arms reach but other than that his comfort cord was SHORT for the longest time if I MOVED or STOOD UP he would cry and follow me even if I was just going to help someone IN the playroom but yesterday I FINALLY was able to go pee and even make lunch while he played in the next room within 'eyesight' for me but his back was too me and without him following me and screaming that 'don't leave me here' banshee noise! It was BLISS!
