My DS has suddenly and quite out of the blue, developed separation anxiety.
He has been through preschool without so much as a look over the shoulder when I left him, and he's been full time at school since September, again, all without so much as a whimper of anxiety.
Now he's clingy and cries before school. When I ask why he doesn't want to go he says it's boring and he doesn't like getting told off by the teachers
I've talked through each telling-off scenario (only little things like walking on the grass when it's wet, which isn't allowed) and he said it had improved now that he understands the rules, but yet still lists it as a reason for him not wanting to attend school.
He has made a few close friends, he's learning a mile a minute, and there are no changes at home, so I just don't get it!
Has anyone else experienced this and do you have any suggestions to best deal with this?
