S.B.
My friend went through this. She had to learn to make drop off really short and sweet. Sticking around trying to console her daughter or "make it easier" did no good. It was "Goodbye. I love you." and go, even when she was upset, clingy and begging. My friend came back home in tears nearly every day. She didn't know where it was coming from. Preschool and kindergarten drop offs went so wel and he daughter liked the teacherl. Any talk of school she tried to be really positive, she never reiterated that her daughter was unhappy. Instead of "I know you don't want to go to school, but..." It was always "Today is art class, Yay!" "today is pizza day in the cafeteria,etc." It did finally get a bit better, but it took a while. Hang in there!
