I have a little girl in my Girl Scout Troop who is like that at school and she is in the first grade. The teacher had her bring in a picture of her family to tape to her desk. This helps with her anxiety to know she can look at her family anytime she wants to. Can he bring something from home that calms him to keep in his cubby. He could hold it when he is upset. I have seen some of the kids at my daughters preschool do this.
My four year old cries sometimes when I drop her off at preschool. I just have to hand her off to her teacher and walk away. I know that sounds awful, but as soon as I am gone she is fine. I end up crying all the way to the car and she is fine by the time I get in my car. :)

I talked to my daughters teacher to see if there was something I could do differently and she said just to keep doing what I was doing cause she calms down after I leave. I think the little turkey does it to make feel bad.:rolleyes: Not really, I think she misses me at first, but gets so busy with her friends she forgets about it.

Does your little boy keep crying after you leave?
