How is separation anxiety handled?
This varies for each child and communication with the parent is important to understand the child’s feelings. It takes time and patience for children to adjust to being away from a parent or caregiver. Crying is a normal emotional release and may actually help some children deal with this new experience. However, we will not let a child become overly distraught without calling his/her parent. Separation anxiety or temporary regression of behavior is not unusual and can occur at any time during the school year. Our staff is experienced in working cooperatively with parents to handle these issues.
