@mv_oxx: Breaks my heart to see her cry but I knew this eventually had to happen. How to survive separation anxiety Create quick good-bye rituals. Even if you have to do major-league- baseball–style hand movements, give triple kisses, or provide a special blanket or toy as you leave, keep the good-bye short and sweet. If you linger, the transition time does too. So will the anxiety. Be consistent. Try to do the same drop-off with the same ritual at the same time each day you separate to avoid unexpected factors whenever you can. A routine can diminish the heartache and will allow your child to simultaneously build trust in her independence and in you. Attention: When separating, give your child full attention, be loving, and provide affection. Then say good-bye quickly despite their antics or cries for you to stay. Keep your promise. You’ll build trust and independence as your child becomes confident in her ability to be without you when you stick to your promise of return. Be specific, child style. When you discuss your return, provide specifics that your child understands. If you know you’ll be back by 3:00 pm, tell it to your child on their terms; for example, say, "I’ll be back after nap time and before afternoon snack." Define time they can understand. Talk about your return from a business trip in terms of "sleeps." Instead of saying, "I’ll be home in 3 days," say, "I’ll be home after 3 sleeps." Practice being apart. Ship the children off to grandma’s home, schedule playdates, allow friends and family to provide child care for you (even for an hour) on the weekend. Before starting child care or preschool, practice going to school and your good-bye ritual before you even have to part ways. Give your child a chance to prepare, experience, and thrive in your absence! #fyp #foryoupage #fypシ #fypviralシ #goviral #seperationanxiety #howtocope #offtoschoolshegoes #preschool #cryingtoddlers
