Patient's question:
Daughter will start kindergarten in September. Her teacher said she is doing very well in all aspects at kindergarten. But as soon as she comes home, she starts crying and demanding that I do everything for her. Is this separation anxiety? What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Since your child is in kindergarten, they have been performing well in all aspects. This indicates that they are normal in all respects. Children are reluctant to leave you. The crying during forced separation is considered separation anxiety, which is related to a lack of security in children. Try to spend time with your child as much as possible. However, children of this age must find a way to sleep in bed. Do not let the child sleep on your chest anymore. You can find a substitute to accompany the child and provide psychological guidance.
