Does Your Child Have Separation Anxiety?

Sep 29, 2023

Anxious boy not wanting to separate from mother

Another common question I get from parents is how can they help their child with separation anxiety, particularly being able to go on playdates or sleepovers, so in today’s video I explore this type of anxiety in some depth.

I begin with a brief exploration of what it is, and then share my tips to help your child manage short visits to a friend’s house without you and gradually build up to playdates and parties, and then overnight stays.

Separation anxiety is complex, and these are just a few tips to help you get started. (In our online course to help anxious children, we take a much deeper dive and I take you and your child through my proven process to help treat all kinds of anxiety, including separation anxiety)

I hope you find the video helpful, and remember if there is an issue you would like me to talk about in a forthcoming video then just drop me an email or send a DM, and I will be happy to cover it.

Warmest wishes
