Kids Center---FAIL!!!

I am pretty sure this was asked recently, but I didn't read it. When did your DC get used to gym daycare? I am planning on going everyday and not expecting to workout much. DD did fine for 5 min until she scanned the room for me and realized I was gone. I left when she was playing...should I make sure she sees me leave the room or continue sneaking out? TIA

MrsRosie:

I think for most children, sneaking out is a bad idea.

The longer you stay the harder it will be for her when you leave.  Her seeing you leave is important so that she can start to understand that you will come back. 

I agree. I think your DD would develop a huge trust issue if you just up and disappeared routinely. I think it's better for her to see you leave and like Rosie said, develop the understanding that you will come back.

I didn't think gym daycare would be so hard since Maggie has only been out of daycare for a month. I'll try saying goodbye to her next time. Thanks for the advice.
