Separation Anxiety

For the first 6 weeks of preschool, Charlie went joyfully to school. Was practically out of the house before my pajamas were off. I was so glad and thrilled that this was how school was going to be. Then about 2 weeks ago, I got a phone call that Charlie was very sad and seemed under the weather. He had a little diarrhea the day before, but seemed fine. So I picked him up, but he was fine at home. Ever since, he has been sad at school. Not tantrum when I leave, but on the virge of crying the whole time. He whimpers and tries so hard to be brave. This normally goes on for the whole 2.5 hours he is there. 

Has anyone else delt with this? Fine for awhile and then sad at preschool? I do not want to take him out, he definitely needs this socialization and learning from others. Maybe just in time he will adjust? It makes me sad....

We try to talk, very excitedly and positively about preschool, but obviously to no difference so far. We a

try to ask him why he is sad, he cannot seem to tell us.He does not act this way when we have babysitters.  

Good news, Charlie did qualify for speech services,so once a week a teacher from Verona SD will be coming to our hourse to service him. I am very thankful and hopefully this will help him immensely. 

Ugh, parenting is hard and I just want the best for him.....
