When children are separated from their close caregivers, they will show anxiety and behavior, resulting in "separation anxiety". It is a common emotional disorder in childhood, and every child may have it, but the degree is different.

Separation anxiety has a great influence on children's body and mind. It is of great significance to find and reduce children's separation anxiety as soon as possible for their future ability development and the formation of healthy personality.

Excessive care and pampering of children make them highly dependent, poor in independence, lacking in life skills and poor in self-care. Once they leave their parents and relatives, they don't know how to deal with it. This is the main reason for children's separation anxiety. Therefore, before children are separated from their relatives, it is an important way to reduce their attachment and form a new attachment relationship.

First, reduce the intensity of parent-child attachment.

Because children regard grandparents as their safe harbor, they will have this kind of separation anxiety when they leave, so reducing the degree of parent-child attachment is the first consideration.

Second, actively guide the formation of new attachment relationships.

Separation anxiety is mainly because children have lost the people they are attached to and feel insecure. In order to make children avoid anxiety and adapt to the absence of grandparents, it is necessary to establish a new attachment relationship between children and parents. You can communicate with your grandparents deliberately in front of your children, so that your children can feel that their parents care about you as much as their grandparents do.

Third, pay attention to the cultivation of children's life skills.

Anxiety is sometimes caused by children's poor living ability. When you can't do what you need to do, you will naturally think of your grandparents who are often with you. Therefore, parents should give guidance on life skills, such as letting him sit at the table and eat by himself, and don't walk around while eating. Parents should not be impatient when giving guidance, because the more anxious you are, the more nervous your child will be.

Fourth, transfer children's attention to separation from grandparents through games.

Parents can take more time to play with their children and let them get out of anxiety slowly.
