It is a great way to meet other parents of toddlers. Each week the topic will be different; we invite you to link up, share your weekly Toddler Talk!!
Each week the hosts will travel around to each blog to see what topic your suggest for the following week. If we choose your topic – you will be our featured blog.
Keep the GREAT suggestions coming. We have an on-going list we will choose from each week. Some topics are ones we have done in the past – but that doesn’t mean we won’t revisit them!!
In order to qualify for this you need to blog about this week’s topic, and follow the hosts. Please do not link up past posts or non-toddler talk posts.
And the end of your post – suggest a topic for next week.
Comments letting us know you are participating are always great too. If we choose your blog, we will link back to your post the following week.
This week’s featured Blog is Lil’ Bit of Us who suggested This Week’s Topic:
Dropping Your Children off at Daycare: Tips and Advice
Hayden has always stayed home with me until just this summer. We decided that it was time for him to go to a summer camp, to get some daily interaction with other kids and some structure. It was a tough transition. He wasn’t used to being in a group setting, moving from one activity to the other and having snack at a specific time. At home, we kind of do whatever works for us that day.
He was only in the summer program for a few weeks, but now he is officially in “pre-school”. I read up a lot about it and wrote a Prepping for Preschool post a few weeks ago. I think a lot of it makes sense for daycare also. I believe that you should always stay enthusiastic, don’t prolong good-byes and let them bring a security object.
Hayden is loving pre-school and doesn’t even want to say good-bye to me!
What are your tips and advice?

With our preschool experience, it’s important to make sure the child knows you will be back very soon after they play and have a snack with their friends. This was usually the hardest part for some of the kids. It seemed like they thought their parents were just leaving them and not coming back.
I don’t agree with bringing a personal object because there are lots of germs in the classroom and daycares and kids are generally protective over their object when others want them to share it. The boys that brought in dinosaurs or trucks would get into arguments with other classmates that wanted to play with their toys they brought from home. The classrooms usually have lots of stuff to play with anyways so I just found it unnecessary to let my daughter take anything.
Thanks for the prepping for preschool post! We’ve just started my 4yo in preschool and I got some good ideas!
Thanks for the tips! Luke does bring in his blankey, and it gets put up and only brought out during nap time. I’m heading over to read your Prepping for Preschool post right now!
My son does fairly well with me leaving him. It’s the during part, when a certain amount of time has passed and he still doesn’t see me, which gets to him.
My little guy just started preschool this week. It is only two hours/day, but he is totally fine with being dropped off-so far! As in everything to do with being a parent, I know that things can change at the drop of a hat. There are a few kids that are really having a hard time… but all of the parents cling right back to their kids! They are out in the hall holding each other and rocking back and forth for twenty minutes after school has started. I haven’t had to deal with my child having this separation anxiety so far like I said, but this doesn’t seem like the way to go?
