Privacy Statement Dealing with day-care separation I am having such a hard time separating from my little one as I go off to work and leave him at day care. I get ready to leave. Sometimes he even begins crying as we pull into the parking lot. Laura Davis and Janis Keyser Laura Davis and Janis Keyser are nationally known authors, lecturers and workshop leaders.
Most parents experience some reluctance about going to work and staying home with kids.
Part of us wants to stay home with our babies and part of us wants and needs to work. There are several things to consider when a baby or child cries when dropped off at childcare. Children will often cry for a few days or weeks when they are just beginning child care. Some children will cry for an hour after drop-off and periodically throughout the day. Some will just cry for a few minutes after their parent leaves.
