hi all. I'm very new to this site do not sure if I am posting this is the right place or not. I am really struggling at the moment and think I just need to know I'm not the only one. Also will take on board any advice ️ My daughter is 3 and a half years old. She doesn't really speak. Although has started using single works recently " juice" ect. But for the past 7-8 months now she has been having really bad separation problems. It first started at nursery. She would cry uncontrollably when I left. And wouldn't stop till I came back. my mum and dad tend to have her the last sat of the month as it gives us a little breather. she loves going and spending time with them. But for around a good 5-6 months now she is lasting with my mum around an hour, tops. And then cries until either she is brought home or we pick her up. It's getting really bad now. To the point I cannot go to the shops and leave her with her dad for half an hour without coming home to a war zone. The only advice my hv gives me is tell everyone to persevere. Easier said than done. My mum can't stand to sit and watch her cry when she knows my little girl just wants to be home. I just don't know how this started. She always loved goi g to nursery and my mum and dads. And still does. But once that first hour is over with it's a whole different story I'm really stuggling as to what to do at the moment and was wondering if anyone has been in a similar situation. What helped you at that time. Any piece of info would be much appreciated. Im a mummy in Good need of a bath by myself and a sleep through the night and a pieceful waking lol thanks for you time x
