June 29, 2007, Newsletter Issue #111: Why is my child so clingy?

Tip of the Week

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 childīs well being. Leave him or her to perform the tasks without your interference.
