Are you sure? This is the smiley face that we see regularly around our house. Regan has always been a pretty easy-going kid, until now. For some reason she is crying anytime I leave! She cries at Joy School, she cries at Primary, she cries at MOPS, she cries EVERYWHERE! I'm about to pull my hair out...I don't know what to do with her. She says that she just misses me. What do I say to that? She didn't do this when she was little, why would she start now? I'm praying it's a phase and that it will be over soon. We've tried talking to her, disciplining her, and bribing her all with no success. Any advice?

Awwww...poor Regan. Poor Mom:(
Your playlist makes me hungry.
I wish I had some advice for you. My kids haven't gone through this yet. I hope they never will but if they do I'm calling you =)Miss you guys!
My advise is that you need to have another baby... lol just kidding...just remember that it is just a phase and she will get through it! good luck... I am thinking about you
That is crazy. It is probably just a phase she is going through. I'm sure she will get better ;) I don't have your email address. Email me you pics too! :) Then i'll have yours to send you. Mine is my first name then a . then my last name at gmail.com :).
She is such a sweetie! Maybe she just wants a little extra time with you. Maybe you could try planning something special for just the two of you? Megan is a tender little spirit too! It's probably just a phase. :)
I'm sure it's just a phase, but that doesn't make it much easier to go through. Autumn has gone through phases like this off and on through the years also. Her mommy time is really important to her. When it seems to get to an extreme we go on a date (just the two of us). Even if it's just grocery shopping and then going to get a special treat. I do remind her of all the things we do together each day and I try to play it down as much as possible. Good luck! Melissa
I didn't get a chance to tell you...but your strategy worked at my house. She started to shed tears at the very beginning and before I was stopping evrything and hugging her and I think it was fueling the fire...because this time I kind of ignored it then I quickly said don't cry Regan...your mom will come and get you after joy school is over and then I moved onto what we were doing. She dried it up and all was well. She did so good. Your just too fun of a mom. My kids are just like "Bye mom!" I kind of wish they would shed a tear or two!
Oooh! It's kinda scary, but I remember going through that phase! All I really wanted was some extra time with mom. I don't remember when I grew out of it, but I know I was over it by the time I was in 3rd grade. Good Luck! And have a great Thanksgiving! Hopefully we'll see you sometime!
Just a little update...Regan is doing AWSUM!! Through different conversations we learned that what is making her cry is really "boys". She is scared of them because (and I quote) "they are loud and noisy". Once we determined that, it was easy to prepare her. No more tears!! Thanks for all the advice!
