Why is my child so clingy?

Why is my child so clingy?

Wariness of strangers and fear of being abandoned combine to make children overly anxious (separation anxiety), even if it is a relative caring for them in your absence. Calmly say your farewells, promise to return after a familiar activity, like naptime or the completion of a regular T.V. program, give a reassuring hug and kiss, and GO. The alternate caregiver then has the responsibility for the child's well being. Leave him or her to perform the tasks without your interference.
