What causes separation anxiety?


Good to know part is that SA has no precise cause. Instead it is regarded by experts as a normal developmental change children go through. It is no fault of yours that your child behaves like superglue and you are in no way responsible for the clingy temperament your little one is showing. Like every developmental phase, you need your child to work this out at his or her own pace. Some children, because of their temperament, take a longer time to become trusting of other people than their immediate family members.




Children will take time to be without their trusted caregivers for longer intervals over time. From being in the same room to being away from you at the daycare is going to take time, more time for some kids than others. In the beginning your child will cry at the mere mention of good-byes or dread your departure so much that it gets to you really bad. Then the day will come when you will be compelled to ponder on the type of house you are running since the same kid on countless occasions will embarrass you by not wishing to come home!
