Just wondered if anyone has any advice on helping a 2 year old with separation anxiety? I guess it's just a phase, as with most other things, but I am wondering if there are specific things we can do to help him. My DS is 2 this week. He's always been fairly clingy to me, partly as DH works away a lot (50% of the time, but random, no pattern) and wider family all live several hours away, so a lot of the time it is just me with him. Recently it's got pretty bad, crying if I leave the room, even to just go to the kitchen or to the loo, and even when DH is with him. He's always loved going to nursery but currently sobs and clings to me when I drop him off and keeps standing by the door crying in the afternoon. His sleeps always been awful but is currently the worst it's ever been and I wonder how much is related to this... Any suggestions or tips would be gratefully received. Thanks!
