A Trainer, Writer and Language Instructor. I believe in investing in our children. They are our future. 
Parents believe that children will learn better if they are sent to nurseries at an earlier age. This maybe true. However, all children are not the same. Some are ready to socialize, yet some are not.
A child who is not ready will show all sorts of unwillingness such as wailing aloud and throwing toys before going to the nursery. Parents will only think that the child is spoiled. The more force is used to take him/her there, the more the child will resist.
Suggested solution:
Spend some time with your child at the nursery. Encourage him/her to befriend other children too. Encourage other children to share toys with your child. Then, encourage them to play with your child. Some parents brought along some tit-bits for other children as a way to 'bribe' them to play with their own children.
Young children have the fear that their parents will leave them. So, parents need to assure them that they are always around. Spend the day with them if necessary. Introduce them to their teachers or caretakers. Help them to get familiarize with the place. share with them the new experience.
Do not leave your child alone under the care of others, not even a trusted relative on the first few days. Unless your child is familiarized with the new surrounding, you will need to be there.This is so to give your child the emotional support he needs.
