It is normal for young children to sometimes feel worried or upset when faced with routine separations from their parents or other important caregivers. Usually such separation anxiety fades as they grow up, begin school, and gain confidence. However, for some children their response to actual or anticipated separations is far more extreme than their peers. Join us to learn more about understanding separation anxiety and how to support children with managing and overcoming these big feelings.
