How To Stop Your Child’s Separation Anxiety

Fear has always been a common response to danger. It is designed to mobilize us and gather strength. You either fight or flight away from the possible threat. At the childcare center, it’s a familiar scene, crying toddlers at the door screaming and howling for their parents, trying to run out if anyone opens the door. Parents feel guilty, worried, and anxious when they see their little ones cry non-stop. Their helplessness to calm them down becomes all too stressful to handle. “We worry about what a child will become tomorrow, yet we forget that he/she is someone today” - Stacie Tauscher. Although it is hard to leave your fearful child alone, there are some things you can do to work through their anxieties. A lot of children experience some kind of separation anxiety during their childhood. The reasons can vary from first day at school and prolonged absences like the long business trips, or divorces. With a little help and positive attitude, both the parent and the child can overcome separation anxiety.
