June 15, 2007, Newsletter Issue #109: Why is my child so clingy?

Tip of the Week

Clinginess and separation anxiety first shows around seven months of age. Talk calmly and quietly to the child using terms of reference that they will understand. For example, saying "Iīll be back in 2 hours" is meaningless to them, but "Iīll be back after you wake up from your nap" may strike a familiar chord.
