Attachment & Separation Anxiety


A child’s first day at school can be a pretty overwhelming experience. Saying goodbye to their parents or carer might lead to crying or clinginess. This is a normal and healthy stage of development, and many children’s worries and fears lessen over time. But all children are different, and some may experience more distressing emotions and anxieties about being separated from their caregivers. Older children and teenagers can also display signs of anxious attachment which might interfere with their school life and friendships. But if you treat the issue with care and sensitivity, you can help the children under your care conquer their anxieties.

Learning outcomes:
  • Define attachment and separation anxiety and its symptoms
  • Explain causes of attachment and separation anxiety
  • List ways to help children and teens manage their anxieties
