Your child&#8217;s concerns can be alleviated with knowledge and the right coping skills and should diminish completely as they grow older.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Separation should be practiced. At first, only leave your child with a caregiver for short periods and across short distances. You can progressively depart for longer periods and travel further as your youngster becomes accustomed to separation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-69\" src=\"http:\/\/hhsproviderfund.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/separation_anxiety_1_IMG.jpg\" alt=\"child to feel anxious\" width=\"879\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"http:\/\/hhsproviderfund.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/separation_anxiety_1_IMG.jpg 879w, http:\/\/hhsproviderfund.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/separation_anxiety_1_IMG-300x164.jpg 300w, http:\/\/hhsproviderfund.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/separation_anxiety_1_IMG-768x419.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 879px) 100vw, 879px\" \/><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Separations should be scheduled after naps or feedings. When <a href=\"https:\/\/oneecostep.com.au\/blogs\/news\/is-my-baby-hungry-or-overtired\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">babies are weary or hungry<\/a>, they are more prone to separation anxiety.<\/li>\n<li>Create a brief &#8220;goodbye&#8221; routine. Rituals might be as basic as a particular wave through the window or a goodbye kiss to be reassuring. However, keep things moving quickly so you can:<\/li>\n<li>Without fanfare, depart. Tell your child you&#8217;re leaving and will be back, then leave\u2014don&#8217;t procrastinate or make it seem like a bigger deal than it is.<\/li>\n<li>Make good on your commitments. You must return on time if you want your child to build the confidence that they can tolerate separation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-70\" src=\"http:\/\/hhsproviderfund.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/separation_anxiety_2_IMG.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"921\" height=\"488\" srcset=\"http:\/\/hhsproviderfund.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/separation_anxiety_2_IMG.jpg 921w, http:\/\/hhsproviderfund.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/separation_anxiety_2_IMG-300x159.jpg 300w, http:\/\/hhsproviderfund.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/separation_anxiety_2_IMG-768x407.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 921px) 100vw, 921px\" \/><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Reduce the amount of scary television you watch. If the shows you watch aren&#8217;t scary, your youngster is less likely to be afraid which can cause separation anxiety in toddlers.<\/li>\n<li>Make an effort not to give in. Assure your child that everything will be alright; firm limitations will ease your child&#8217;s separation anxiety.<\/li>\n<li>Pay attention to and <a title=\"respect your child's\" href=\"\/family-atmosphere\/ways-to-raise-a-respectful-child\">respect your child&#8217;s<\/a> emotions. Being listened to can be a tremendous therapeutic experience for one who may already feel alone due to separation anxiety disorder in children.<\/li>\n<li>Discuss the problem. Children benefit from talking about their feelings; they do not benefit from &#8220;not thinking about it.&#8221; Be sympathetic, but gently remind your youngster that they made it through the last separation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When you say goodbye, it&#8217;s natural for your young child to feel anxious.
