Separation problems
Submitted by momof2 on Mon, 07/28/2008 - 5:14am.
Hi I have twin boys that are 3 1/2 years old. One is very attached to me to the point that I cant sit by myself. He is also very jealous if the other one gets any attention. Example; One was sick with a high fever so of course he was getting more attention. The one that is jealous kept trying to sit on me and his brother and push him off. I know jealousy is normal and Im ok with that. Its just that his attachment to me is getting more and more. I teach so in Sept. I will put the boys back in daycare and Im nervous about how its going to be. Last year I cried my eyes out watching him cry and be pulled off my leg. I was wondering if any of you have gone through this and if you have any suggestions on how to deal with this. I have started bringing them once a week to ease into school. I guess its the times we are home is where I need the help. Thanks

momof2, my wife is a teacher as well, so at the end of each summer we are faced with a similar situation. So far we have just tried to 'grin and bear it'. I know this is of no help to you and your question though
