If you are a parent, then more than likely you may face the commonproblem of separation anxiety in your child. What exactly is child separationanxiety? In a nutshell, this is the type of anxiety or stress your childmay encounter when you leave him/her alone and they get upset or cry due to the separation involved. The reason they get upset or cry is because the child learns to remember objects or specific people, and when those objects or people become absent, anxiety sets in.
The separation can be scary to a child because they are not sure if you are leaving them for good. They are more aware of you being around all the time and used to it. What they aren't familiar with is you leaving and returning.
In most cases, this type of separation anxiety or stress is very common. But, if it persist, it may become chronic and have lasting effects on the child down the road.
Typical instances when your child may face separation anxiety may be when you drop your son or daughter off at the babysitters or even during those first few days of daycare or school. The child will typically cry, become withdrawn, and be difficult to deal with.
So the big question is, when does separation anxiety with your child needto be looked at more closely?

The more you show it, the more your child willpick up on it and make the situation more difficult. An easy way to get on top of the situation early is to play small "leave and return" games with yourchild. This way, they get accustomed to you being gone in short intervals,and most importantly...get accustomed to you returning.
