Settling in nursery

Settling Aanya in nursery has been the hardest thing ever. The first day I took her it was actually nice. By the end of the hour she started exploring the room. However the next day Ashish took her and they asked him to leave Aanya alone for 10 mins. She kept crying and after that she got so scared that she would just keep crying even if we were there with her. The original plan was to start leaving her after a week but we decided to take a month to settle her.

A few times I peeked in after 2-3 weeks. One day she was just lying in a tent and would get upset if anyone including another kid would come into the tent to explore. It was heart wrenching to see her hiding there. She does some strange things like not taking her hat off and insisting on wearing her jacket inside. They have started hiding her jacket otherwise she keeps wanting to put it on and then sits there sweating as it's too warm.

Recently I went and she was pacing the room. She kept walking for 2 hours straight... I really hope she starts enjoying it as she starts full time next week.
