fig is right, SR. Kids are known to make a scene when parents drop them at school, babysitters etc but strangely enough once the parent drives away they're fine. Kids use what they can to maintain some control over a situation which is beyond them when they find it doesn't work, they stop. Continue to be extra loving and comforting to her when you're together. She must feel very insecure right now and needs that reassurance badly, and happily I can say I think you probably are on that already! Hang in, it's hard to watch our kids struggle like this but you and she will get through it! Btw, your post reminds me of my youngest D's first day of school. Mom and I were so worked up about how she would adjust, would she cry and carry on when we left? We took a whole day off work just to be there if needed. Well, we got there and the teacher showed D her cubby and D folded her Teddy bear in half and stuffed it in the cubby. We were also concerned that she wouldn't put Teddy down cuz she carried him everywhere. Then she took her seat, looked up at us and said "OK, you can go now" and that was it! We had to figure out what to do with the rest of our day. One day your D will look up at you or mom and say "OK, you can go now".
