How normal is it for my 6 year old to be suffering from separation anxiety?
she always had very strong separation anxiety as a baby but she grew out of it.
over the last year she’s regressed and hates being away from me. If I go out without her she begs me not to go, cries going into school, refuses to sleepover at anyone’s house or will cry for a week beforehand if she knows she is going to.
needs me to lie beside her to fall asleep but usually stays in her own bed. Maybe comes into our bed twice a week.
likes being near me, sitting on me if she can.
how normal or not is this?
