my 2 yr old daughter started her playschool few days back after Dushera. when i take her to school she goes happily, also when i ask her previous night \" will u go to school tomorow\" she replies YES very happily. BUT when i go to pick her up from school i always see her crying badly with her breath stopped & tears in her eyes. she hugs me as soon as i reach there. i have never seen her crying so much. when i asked her what happened, she replied \" Daaddi bbaapp\" ( meaning teacher scolded OR Slapped, she calls her teacher Daaddi) i am confused abt all this. PLS SOMEBODY GUIDE ME. whether this is too early to settle down over a decision coz today was her 2nd day in school? the only thing that worries me is that she is not afraid of school but then why she ends her day at school with tears? PLS reply soon. Usha Babu replied. My daughter who is 2.5 yrs, even she crys when we sent her to play school. initial 10 days she was fine, but later on she refused to go to school. We also had an councelling session abt my kid, what came out is, at home they are protected, suddently when they are sent to school, even if the teacher of the ayya shouts, kids get angry and complain and do not go to school. As of now we have stopped sending her to school, will try it again next month, if not they, will send her when she turns 3 yrs. madhu replied. My daughter also started around same time and she also cries when I go to pick her up.
But I keep asking her about teacher' s behaviuor and her replies are - teacher doesn' t scold her and love her.

So you better trust your kid or wait for 1 more week...if she complains the same thing...stop sending her. Minnu replied. Children dont lie, so trust your child on this. Talk to the providers about this. It is natural for a child to be sulky during the morning when parents drop them off - but I feel if they are crying towards the end of the day, there is something amiss

medha Piplani replied. Hello,
Just check if it is possible for you to be in the school but not in front of her, somewhere she can' t see you. If possible do it for two/ three days. Than see if she complains about the same when you pick her up during those days. Bcoz if she doesn' t than you need to withdraw your daughter from that school ASAP. May be they are actually being rude to the child in your absence.
