Separation Anxiety
from Parenting Doctors Podcast · host Dr. Daniel van Ingen
This is a large topic but I wanted to give you some quick solutions. First, we need to be aware of how the meltdown may be behavioral, emotional, or an attachment issue. Second, we want to address the issue of reinforcement - there are things we do that reinforce tantrums. "You must go to the coffee appt." "You must go to the job interview." Or, the child needs to go to school. I provide an example of a goodbye ritual that can make a difference.
