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 "I'll be back in 2 hours" is meaningless to them, but "I'll be back after you wake up from your nap" may strike a familiar chord.
