I think most have given advice on how to help the kid, so I won't add to it, but here's some advice on how to help YOU deal with it: if you can, come back and take a peak and see your kid when he/she's done sobbing so you don't feel so awful. Vietbabe loves daycare but every single morning without fail is totally hysterical sobbing when I leave; real, huge sobs and real tears. But then I go make a call on my cell or get coffee and peak back and see her playing and happy and it makes me feel a lot better for the day. (Even though I have effectively removed her from one orphanage and put her in another, but whatever.)
Vietmom (just kidding; I'm so over that thinking)
