5 Tips to Support and Minimize Separation Anxiety in Infants and Toddlers

Does your infant or toddler cry or get upset every time you leave? Separations can be tough. It’s so tough that it may seem easier to avoid upsetting your child than tell them you’re going to work, going to the store, or going out with your partner. It’s normal for your young child to want to be with you 24/7, and it shows just how emotionally connected they are to you. We must also be realistic. There will be times when you will be apart. How you help your infant or toddler cope in those moments of separation can help minimize their distress in the long run. In this video, I discuss 5 steps on how to implement this in your family. -------------------- Hi, I'm Clarice Felipe Dionisio, owner and founder of AutumnLife Reflective Parenting.
