How To Prevent Your Child From Experiencing Separation Anxiety
« on: September 29, 2009, 10:08:16 PM »
Children do have a hard time when they are separated from their parents. This is commonly experienced when a child is left in a day care center. Most of the time, you would see a scenario where in the child will  shout, cry and kick all over because her does not want to be left alone by his parents. This is what you call separation anxiety which parents do really have to go through as part of the growing phase that children need. Here are some of the ways in which you can prevent yourself from being in this situation.

1. Train him slowly
Your child may find it really hard to get used to the fact that you need to be separated everyday. This is not best done if you suddenly leave your child in the middle of the day care because this will really traumatize him. The best way to do it is to take things slowly and spend less time together so that he will get used to the feeling of being separated from you. This will make it easier for him to deal with the day without you around.

2.  Allow him to bring his toys
Your child may always find comfort in the toys that he plays. It is very important that you allows him to bring something that would remind him of home so that he will have something to  hold one once he feels lonely. Sometimes, this can be a photo or a blanket so whatever he might wish to bring, be lenient enough to allow him to.

3. Reward You Child
If your child has performed well in school or has not thrown any tantrums, you can always reward them for this. Children work best with the reward system where they are given a gift or an appraisal to recognize their good behavior. This will only encourage your child to do go even more and you will be more assured that he will not go through another separation anxiety  experience again.

4. Greet as you meet
When you meet the teachers as well as the other students, you should greet them back. By being a good example to your child, he will see that he should be responsive to the greetings of other people. If your child is feeling lonely, he will have people around him who will show him that they care for him in the day care. This can really ease up your child so make it a point never to miss out in this.

Dealing with separation anxiety is not that hard as it seems. It just requires you to think ahead. You may think that you should be able to have a solution immediately but the truth is that you should have come up with the solution ahead of time. It is all about conditioning the mind of your child about the idea of separation and from here you can work your way to  make your child be more comfortable with the idea.
