my boy is 3 1/2 years old he's gone to grandma for daycare and I recently put him in daycare for 2 days aweek since he will be starting preschool in September.
He's wining a lot about a lot of nonsense stuff like leaving daycare and not liking there snack. He's also never had a problem playing with kids sharing can sometimes be alittle struggle but other than that he's fine. I let him play for another 20 min when I was getting ready to pick him up yesterday and never once saw him play with another kid they were all playing on the play ground and he's just running around by himself....... Maybe it's Bec it's only his 3rd time going . I feel like a bad parent
Why on earth would you feel like a bad parent?! You are doing something good for him by putting him in daycare in order to prepare him for preschool. And find me a kid that ISN'T whiney. That's what they do, especially at that age.
I wouldn't think twice about this and just let him get adjusted to the new environment.
You can look for a preschool where they teach along with games. It will create interest. My sister was also facing the same problem. Then she came to know about Eye Level Learning Center where they focus on self directed learning. There is a play math program for preschoolers which includes basic math like counting, sorting objects, comparing the length of items, addition and subtraction of basic numbers and so on. It helped in overall development of my niece.
