How to deal with children's separation anxiety

Children's separation anxiety is a condition that many people will experience. The main problem is that they will feel very anxious after being separated from their children. When this happens, it has a relatively large impact on the daily life of parents. Therefore, when faced with this situation, people need to take some measures to deal with it in time. The following is a detailed introduction on how to deal with children's separation anxiety.

There are many treatments for children's separation anxiety now, but if it is a young child, we will choose a treatment plan based on the severity of his separation anxiety. If it is only a mild case, then supportive psychotherapy or behavioral therapy may be able to achieve better results. But if it is a severe case, we will recommend that he receive an anti-anxiety or anti-depression drug treatment in a short period of time. Then, on the basis of drug treatment, a psychological and behavioral intervention will achieve a better effect. The specific treatment plan will be determined mainly based on the severity of the disease.

1. Generally, babies will become attached to their parents after 6-7 months and can be separated from their parents for a short period of time. Separation anxiety reaches its peak at 10-18 months. 2. Separation anxiety will make the baby disappointed, anxious, painful or lonely, which is not conducive to the child's mental health development. 3. Since the baby cannot express his emotional needs with words, parents should observe the baby's emotions carefully, spend more time with the baby to make him feel safe, make up for the baby's emotional deficiencies, and let the baby always be surrounded by love and affection.

It is easy to understand why such a situation occurs. When the baby wakes up at night, he suddenly finds that his mother is gone. This fear is very real for the child. Before going to bed every day, the mother should spend more time hugging the child, reading bedtime picture books to him, and singing with him. This can make the time before bedtime more warm and let the baby fully feel the mother's love. This is very helpful in alleviating the baby's separation anxiety.

Because the time when children experience separation anxiety is not fixed, before the children go to bed every day, we can lie down with them in the big bed for a while, sing to them face to face, hug them, kiss them and then put them down. Because children like to listen to songs and lie in the big bed very much, this process is a very precious bedtime activity for them.

Every child has different preferences. Mothers can try to find some bedtime activities that their babies like, but be careful not to make the activities too intense, lest the baby be too excited to fall asleep after the activities.
