What do you do if ‘well meaning’ friends and family tell you that your little one just needs to ‘get on with it’ when all they want to do is be with you? This is the challenge Claire puts to Becks - in response she talks about what it was like when her own children were little and how she might approach this phase differently given what she knows now.
They also talk about:
How separation anxiety is a normal phase of development
Why children have separation anxiety (an explanation of people / object permanence right here!)
How you know whether your child has separation anxiety and how old children typically are when they go through it.
The link between the survival brain (fight, flight, freeze) and separation anxiety.
Why we expect children to ‘go off and play’ with children they may never have met – how would we feel about the same kind of situation as adults?!
What you can try to help your little one through this phase.
