Our 2.5 year old son has gone to the same in-home daycare since he was 3 months old. We moved recently and needed to switch his daycare. We found a new in-home daycare who has excellent references and has taken care of many children of my wife's co-workers. They have nothing but wonderful things to say.
He satarted the new daycare this week. The first day was great. The second day he was bit clingy to me when I dropped him off. Yesterday and today he would start crying at home before we took him to daycare. He says he doesn't want to go to Miss Jen's. He would cry all the way to daycare and then cry when I dropped him off.
He says that he's afraid of another boy in daycare. The other boy is his age and he's a typical toddler. He gets excited and when he plays he's a bit more entheusiastic than our son which I scares him.
I know toddlers don't take well to change and it takes a while to adjust but was just wondering if anyone has any tips to help him? I've heard varying things like I should stay with him for a while when I drop him off but others say I should not. Just looking for some advice.
