Separation Anxiety
Background and Causes
Child and adult psychologists believe that pleasant separation experiences in early life act as a sort of psychological vaccine against the anxiety of stressful separations that come later in life. Young children want and need to separate from their parents, but they don’t know how. It has been found that the more attached or connected a child is early on in infancy to a caregiver, the easier the separation process when the time comes.
