Separation Anxiety

[Mum2ElmoFan]

Hey me again

So my daughter has began crying every time I leave the room or leave her sight she will scream blue murder
If I'm in the bathroom she stands outside the door and sobs her little heart out
I have to put on her fave show just to be able to leave the room

How do I help her ease up a little the constant screaming everytime I go out the door is hurting my head and it can't be nice for her so how can I help her to feel more confident and understand mummy is literally gonna be back

The only real way to help it is to go with it, so if you go to the loo, plonk her outside the door and leave it open, if you're cooking in the kitchen put her where she can see you.

In my experience if you try and force it the situation just becomes worse.

Morning .I'm after some advice about our nearly 6 year old son. He's not been sleeping the last few nights and has been waking up crying but can't explain why . Hes learning to tell the time and at school and gets very anxious and worried if we're not out the door by 8:15am. It's come to a head this morning with husband getting very frustrated and he's blamed it on the fact that our boy has too many hobbies . He does swimming lessons (which I feel are essential ), piano lessons and football. He enjoys all his hobbies but hubby has the said the reason he clock watches is because I'm 'ragging him round to all these places '. I try so hard to be a good parent and really thought I was doing the best for him , but I just don't know any more.

That doesn't sound very supportive of your "D"H. It's good that he does activities some days and has quieter days too.

Has your DH offered to do anything positive within to help DS? Things like reading to him. Assuring him that you always wake up and get ready, Getting him an alarm clock so that he's in charge of getting himself up, some mediation for children on YouTube before bed could all help.
