Separation Anxiety
Just want to make a quick post about Separation Anxiety. I saw this special news feature on our local tv station about children going to school for the first time. A Pediatrician or a Psychologist or someone said that the child maybe experiencing separation anxiety when he clings and cries when his parents will leave him to school all by himself.
What is Separation Anxiety?
Separation anxiety is a psychological condition in which an individual (in our case, a child) experiences excessive anxiety regarding separation from home or from people to whom the individual has a strong emotional attachment (like a father and mother). It becomes a disorder when the separation reaction becomes strong enough to impair peoples ability to conduct their day to day lives and relationships.
