...deeper and deeper every time I leave J at nursery. She looks so sad and today she cried and still neither of the teachers give her a hug :( Sure, I can see them (through the window) try to involve her but since she doesnt really cheer up anyway I think what she wants is to cuddle a bit, be re-assured that I will come back etc. As a nursery teacher shouldnt you be able to give a hug to a sad child? On the other hand she still says she has fun at school and she is very proud to point it out every time we pass etc. Is she not telling me the truth? Should I go with my gut feeling or believe her words?
