I agree that a lot of the time it is because the mom is making things worse, but that may not be the case. What do you do when mom drops kid off? I had a boy a few months back that did this and turned out he had severe double ear infection (no symptoms) and after he got it cleared up stopped crying and is HAPPY! Yay!

Anyway, If I have a child like this I try to engage them from the moment they walk in the door. Encourage mom to say bye bye on the porch quickly and then open door, deposit kid and walk away unless you have something to tell them. And as soon as kid is through the door...say hey Suzie...want to help with breakfast? or look at the doll I pulled out for you! Or whatever to take the childs mind OFF of the mother leaving.
