Do This One Technique to get rid of anxiety and panic attacks FAST!   Learning How To Deal With Separation Anxiety By Karin I Manning Do you suffer from anxiety or panic attacks? Glenda did, too. Read about the One Natural Technique Glenda used to STOP anxiety and panic attacks FAST! Goodbyes like that are common in a childs early years. Actually such goodbyes have a name and its separation anxiety. But, its not only limited to children and sometimes pets; it is also common in parents, especially if they only have one child ready for school. Separation anxiety usually develops around the first birthday of a child, getting upset when parents may first try to leave them with other people. Though separation anxiety is a perfectly normal part of childhood development it can be not only disturbing but very embarrassing for those involved. A baby develops separation anxiety sometime between their 4th -7th month. During this time, your baby develops a sense of object permanence - the difference between an object that is always around and an object that isnt. A baby realizes that theres only one of you. That is why when they cant see you (the most important person in their world), they will cry for they believe that youve gone away and left them. Between eight months to 1 year your child starts to become even more uncertain about being separated from you. This is when separation anxiety typically develops, and your child may show tantrums and cry hard whenever you try to leave their side. The timing of separation anxiety can vary widely from child to child. There are kids who experience separation anxiety early in life and there are some who may experience separation anxiety later. It also depends on the child and how the parents respond to the child and their separation anxiety. In cases where the separation anxiety interferes with an older childs normal activities, it can be an indication of a more serious anxiety disorder. In cases where a separation anxiety came out of the blue in an older child, it can be a sign of another problem it is possible that the child may be dealing with, like harassment or mistreatment of some kind. It is important to remember that separation anxiety is typically different from the normal feelings an older child has when he/she doesnt want a parent to leave their side. In cases like that, a child may be distracted to overcome the distress until the parents arrive, and remembers that her parents left. In addition, your child doesnt understand the effects his/her behavior has on you. If you come after your baby every time he/she cries, your child may use the same trick on you just to avoid separation. Separation anxiety is not only common in children and parents. Believe it or not, it is also something your dog can feel every time you leave his side. Dogs with separation anxiety display behavior problems when they are left alone, typically lasting for 20-45 minutes after their owners leave them. The most common of these separation anxiety behaviors are: Digging, chewing, and scratching at doors or windows tryng to escape and be reunited with their loved ones; Howling, barking, and crying in an attempt to get their owner to come back (but unfortunately annoying the neighbours in the process); Urination and defecation (even housetrained dogs) as a result of distress and separation anxiety. In cases where you find your couch, doors and other furniture all torn up, because of what your dogs did, just put yourself in your dogs shoes, and try to understand how it feels and understand that it is suffering some form of separation anxiety for the sole reason that it really loves you.
