Seperation?

I need some advice on my toddler son's seperation anxiety. He is 18 months old and totally freaks out whenever I leave him. I've tried to "coach" him before dropping him off in the church day care (just sunday mornings) and I've recently started carring him with me to the gym nursery while I work out. He cries the whole entire time! He's not one of those kids that cries for 10 minutes and then plays. I've tried everything, from explaning it to him that mama will be back and to play with other kids, to the dreaded sneaking out. Please Help!! He's been like this seems like forever, he's been going to the same church nursery since December.
When I finish working out and pick him up, he wants to get down and play with the other kids, it's like as long as he can see me he is fine.
I've been a SAHM since his birth and he is our only child. Do you think giving him a picture of me to keep with him would work?? Thanks alot!


I hope it gets better for you soon.
I have heard that you can give them something to carry in their pocket from you that may help with the separation anxiety.
I hope it gets easier for you both! hang in there :o)
