When I had kids who cried (all but one of them!), I asked morahif I could stay each day after drop off to ease the kid in.
First I'd stay for an hour... Then 40 minutes... Then 20 minutes... And within 1.5 weeks, the crying would be done.

But most working mothers cant do this. Its not realistic.

Leaving a child crying hysterically in a playgroup long term (more than a few weeks of adjustment) like you described should NOT be an option ever. There are always always other options. If you do this, I judge you and you should know it. Quit your job and open a playgroup.

No, there are not always other options.
And shame on you for judging. Who are you to judge anyone?

im a toddler morah in a daycare and had a student that didnt let me breathe for like 6 weeks- I wasnt allowed to move away or turn my head from him. plus I had another 2 kids that also cried a lot but bh they only stayed for the summer.

bh this kid is the happiest boy ever! I couldnt believe that I stuck it out that long....
