Listen to Your Kids
Spend time listening to your child. That is all they really want. Not advice, not questions. They will tell you everything if you let them.
A Quarter A Day
Last year when I was required to go back to work for financial reasons, my mother watched my daughter. Since I had been a stay at home mom since the day she was born, my daughter took this hard and would cry after I drove off. In order to prevent this, my mother decided to put a quarter in the "doggy" bank each day my daughter did not cry. Before we knew it, my daughter had over fifty dollars in her bank. It was a great way to stop the tears, as well as a little savings account to boot!
Why is my child so clingy?
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 "IŽll be back in 2 hours" is meaningless to them, but "IŽll be back after you wake up from your nap" may strike a familiar chord.
