11 Month Separation Anxiety: What Worked for Us
My first daughter, Faith, is almost one. She will turn one in a week, and we thought now is a great time for her to be in daycare full time. My wife went to work, I dropped her off on my way to work, my wife picked her up, they ate lunch, Faith went back, I picked her up and we all ate dinner together. She had never been at the daycare for more than two hours at a time. It worked for us because Faith has a different schedule than the daycare, and my wife was able to pick her up. We decided to make her full time for two reasons: 1) she's never interacted with the other kids because she never had the chance, 2) my wife’s hours got switched and she won’t be able to pick her up, so they can have lunch together.
