So, Braxton has been going to nursery now for, what, 7 or 8 months? And STILL, every single Sunday, it is a battle with him. He is completely happy and content and loves to play with the toys and the other kids, but only if mom or dad is in there with him. The second he thinks we are going to leave, he FREAKS out and starts screaming. We have tried everything - staying in there with him, leaving and just letting him cry, coming and going throughout the 2 hours...most of the time I stay in there with him for about 30 min and then leave, but they always end up bringing him to Justin or I because he is screaming so much. I don't get it. He LOVES to socialize with other kids and loves to play play play, he does fine with babysitters that he is familiar with, and I think he is a pretty well adjusted kid. So why are we having this issue with nursery? Any suggestions?

Aric did the same with any kind of childcare for a long time. What I ended up having to do was help him form a connection with someone who's there every time. Once a kid trusts another person, it'll get easier. It might mean that you have to sneak some kind of treat to that person and have them give it to him. Would it help if he took something of his own that's special to him? We have "gray bear" that went everywhere with Aric for the longest time, and as long as gray bear was there, Aric was safe. lol
There's a lot of commotion in nursery just because of the fact that it's a ton of kids and that might be too much for him right now. It'll get better. :)
Good luck!
I agree with bringing in a comfort toy.
maybe a big boy reward at home if he can stay in there without being brought to Mom or Dad. Show him the reward before church and ONLY give it to him if he achieves his goal, if he does not, we will try again next week.
And each stage passes to quickly. It makes me cry.
