Seb and his mother arrive at nursery. Although he can handle being away from his mother for short periods, he is still finding the transition from home to the setting quite traumatic. He cries when mum has to leave him, but allows the practitioner to take him from her and give him a cuddle even as he reaches out for mum.
Later, when mum arrives to pick him up, he is a bit tearful at first and clearly relieved that she is back. But he isn't clingy and recovers quickly.
