Separation anxiety: How to prepare children (and parents)
Separation anxiety in children, often triggered by life changes, is a common fear, not misbehavior. Parents, too, find goodbyes challenging. Preparation through simple, repeated explanations and consistent routines helps. Short, confident goodbyes are crucial. Parents managing their own anxiety can support their child's emotional growth. Seek professional help if anxiety is severe.
