    Yep, totally agree on this one. Cold turkey right from the get go.

    Thanks for the input everyone. I should clarify that Of course I reassure her physically with cuddles and lots of floor time where she sits on my lap. It i just physically impossible (and unhealthy for her) for me to do that all day. the crying is very hard on all of us, including the other kids in my care :-(. I understand that this age is really tough because of separation anxiety and the daycare world is so new.
    As Apples said, it's a rough time for everyone so best to celebrate the small victories and right now I have a moment of quiet and am doing just that!

    The day when you all of a sudden realize that it's quiet and there is no crying or screaming. That's victory day! Hope it comes soon for you gravytrain.

    It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men.
