Leaving your child with someone else can make you feel sad and guilty. You may be filled with self-doubt. You're not alone.

For years, you've been developing a special bond with your child. Remember that your child's brain develops through interaction with you and the world.

When you first enter your child into childcare or preschool, you and your child will go through a time of adjustment. And it's to be expected that you'll miss each other a lot. This is normal. It is a sign that a strong bond exists between the two of you. Give it time.
