Separation Anxiety
Whenever I think about separation anxiety, I start to get anxious! Although I haven’t really experienced any of this yet with my soon to be 1 year old, I keep thinking it’s going to happen at any minute.
Below is a very helpful article describing what separation anxiety is and why a lot of children go through this phase. And luckily, it is just a phase, as the experts discuss in the article, it’s temporary and we shouldn’t try to get too stressed out by the whole situation!
Good luck!
Unfortunately, teary and tantrum-filled goodbyes are a very common part of a child’s earliest years. Around the first birthday, it is common for kids to develop separation anxiety, getting upset when a parent tries to leave them with someone else. Though separation anxiety is a perfectly normal part of childhood development, it can be unsettling. Understanding what your child is going through and having a few coping strategies in mind can go a long way toward helping both of you get through it.
