How to Deal with Separation Anxiety | 7 Tips

Separation anxiety in kids is a natural process in development. According to Bowlby (the father of the attachment theory) it helps their survival - infants who experience separation from the key person they bonded with, demonstrate some behavior characteristics like crying, chasing and calling and the mother (or main carer) is more likely to stay and comfort them. Today, I share 7 tips on how to deal with separation anxiety: 1. Practice separation - disappear from the room, tell them, now, I’m going to leave you at the nursery and this is what will do - create routine so that you child feels more comfortable. Practice always when you’re child is feeling good (not hungry, not tired, not sleepy). 2. Create rituals - Keep the good buy short and establish some sort of routine and rituals - for me this is a song I’m singing to Mika or asking him to finish my sentence. 3. Plan transitions - Keep familiar surrounding as much as you can - if you’re moving homes, it may not be the best time to start nursery too. In the same way - if you’re going back to work - don’t do it simultaneously with sending them to nursery. 4. Talk to your child - I’m a huge, huge fan of talking to Mika - in fact, some people who come and stay with us think we overdo it - we talk to him as if he understands since he was a baby - I explain to him everything - where I’m going, what I”m doing - I do not have the concept that he doesn’t get it - I act as if he gets it. Let them know when are you goIt is normal to go through separation anxiety unless it is really bad - when you need professional help. If your child has not formed a secure attachment, because he feels betrays, he may withdrew which is worse than crying because eing to be back - tell them what will happen during the day. 5. Manage your state - state calm during separation - if you can’t then get your mom, husband, sister, someone to help you. For example, I was very worried when Mika started nursery - really worried. There are kids who are very eager , Mika is not like that. After the first two days with him, our nanny or my husband was taking him instead of me. 6. Give them an assignment - tell them what to do while you're away and that gives them something to look forward to. 7. Praise the effort DON'T EVER SNEAK OUT! You'll break the trust they have in you!
