My 9month old son loves his daycare attendant at times when I come and pick him up he doesn't want to leave

Question

her and whines a little when I take him, the attendant is an old woman who is very kind and gentle to him and I'm happy he has someone great watching over him but it hurts a little, has this ever happened to anyone?

Answer 1

I'm sure this hurts your feelings it would me too! I would look at it as a great thing atleast you know hes taken care of.

Answer 2

Yes.  Its just like when they cry when you leave them there.  Then once you are gone, they forget all about it and settle in for the day.  I know it kinda hurts, but I would chalk it up as just how they adjust to spending large amounts of time with different people.  My daughter did the same thing.
