its my daughters first day at nursery today what do i do if she cries ?

Answers:
She WILL cry because its the first day, and she's not used to NOT having you around. Dont worry, it happens with everyone and it will get right with time. Be optimistic. Also give her FULL support.

believe me all moms and dads go thru this... if she cries a little, it WILL be ok, and she WILL like school, make it a happy thing when taking her...

she will cry, you will cry and feel like you are abandoning her...it's a normal and heart breaking thing, but you have to be strong and let her stay there with out you. I think you will find when you go back to pick her up she will cry again because she won't want to leave

I work in a school and see kids like this every day. This might seem harsh, but the best thing to do is slip away as quietly as you can, the staff are used to this and know how to calm them down. After a few minutes the kids have forgotten all about you and are enjoying the activities.

Well prepare yourself--she's probably going to cry. It is because she is apprehensive about a new situation. She's had you to control her environment up til now, and now it is different. It's a good thing. Tell her you love her, that you will return at X time, and CHERRFULLY and calmly walk out of the building. You do your crying in the car--not in front of her, or she will think there really is something to be sad about--and moms crying scares kids! Then return when you said you would. Do this a couple of days and you will BOTH be OK.

She might cry, you might cry. She might cry tomorrow and next week. Its what they do. Some days my daughter won't let me go, and other days she runs off to play without so much as looking over her shoulder at me! Don't worry, she'll be just fine. Good luck to you.

dont worry ,,theres always a first time,,just try to be calm yourself,,because its the parents who are more nervous than the children.Just try telling her that she is going to see newer things as in fairy tales,tell her a story about a fairy going to school,,make it sound as real as possible.Tell her the story like a fairy tale,but include all the realities that she may face.It would be obvious that she may cry at first,,but if the nursery is good,the teachers definately know how to make children engaged in things which are interesting.So dont worry ,,just be calm yourself :)

donot or ever discourage her sometimes if she cries alot give some choclates to her teacher and tell the teacher
whenever she will cry give that choclates this will even
let her feel nice in front of other students and she go
without crying but do not make it a habbit

suggestion

let her cry.leave asap wo getting sappy and prolonging things. she needs 2 get used 2 her new routine as quick as possible.trust me, its more painful 4 u than it is her.by the time u pick her up,she will not want 2 go home.i am a pre school teacher,i c this all the time.good luck!!

I am absolutely sure SHE will cry!
But that's ok, it is normal, is it their first time to be left alone, but don't worry she is in good hands.

She will cry only on the first few days but believe me, next time you can never stop her going to school, she'll again cry but for a different reason that's if you don't let her go to school.

my experience!

My daughter has been in nursery(daycare) for almost 2 years now and there are still mornings when I drop her off that she cries. Most children only cry for about a minute if that long after there mom or dad leaves. Give her a few days to get use to the fact of you not being around her all day she will be fine and it is a good experience for the both of you.

She is probably going to cry...sorry. You will too...again, I'm sorry. Just keep in mind that eventually she will actually be asking to go like my little one does. Just make it seem like the funnest thing in the world and don't let her see your anxiety.

This week will be tough but next week will be better, I promise.
