Anxiety Help - Cause of Separation Anxiety
How normal is it for my 18 month-old son to suddenly develop intense separation anxiety from mother, even when left with very familiar relatives (including father), even when he can see mom simply stepping away a moment?
This past weekend, I worked Saturday too. Could this be enough to explain the separation anxiety? Or should I look into other possible reasons to try to fix things?
Without knowing your child, but reading your question alone, he sounds absolutely normal! Many people are unaware that separation anxiety happens in two stages. The first bout of separation anxiety typically occurs around 5-8 months of age, the second occurs between 15-18 months of age. It is even normal for the second bout to occur all the way up to the age of 2.5 years old.
