Only child syndrome?

[5 Little Monkeys]

She's still quite young and new to daycare. It will take some time to adjust. She could just naturally have a bigger personal space bubble too. I have a few kids like that and sometimes have to remind the others to give xxx some personal space.

We cuddle a lot here!! It's one of my favourite things about home dc vs centre dc. If I'm on the floor there is usually a child on me or around me. They take turns and it's never been an issue. It's a great way to create those special bonds IMO. I can't imagine having a rule that no one is allowed on my lap but that is just me. You will find the right balance that works for you and your group!! However, I do think that too much cuddling can be coddling and that is when issues arise.

Good luck!!

Thank you I totally agree. And that is one of the reasons parents choose home daycare, for the little extra lovin! The nonlap issue is only a temporary thing in part because my little guy is learning as well to share his mommy. I really believe in getting down to their level as much as possible. I have been helping my two year old as well, telling her to take one step back etc and let the child have some play space, it works well. The parents of this child are very quiet, low key, gentle people so naturally I see it in the child. I know she will adjust, we all have to help
