Carol,
It is typical for your baby to be going through what they are going through. For 9 months, they were attached to us 24 hours a day 7 days a week. We were their lifeline and they have to discover their self-reliance from us. Their whole mentality knows they are noticing this entire brand-new freedom from mom, however yet they have reservations about starting brand-new things. The mommy can help teach them self-reliance by taking child actions and not attempting to separate from them without developing the process.
You may ask, what steps can we take?
Start out small. Let them play in the living room as you go to the next space (room requires to be in eye view) to do a particular job as folding clothing. Make sure you are keeping eye contact with them and reassuring that mama is right here. Speak in favorable, positive words. The very first time might not work, however simply keep repeating yourself and do it over and over until they are fine with you remaining in the next room.
Stretch the time being gone. When father or another caregiver gets home, go and shower or soak in a nice bubble bath. Assure the kid you will be back. Never sneak away from the child as this will leave a bad coping ability with her and believe you are never coming back. Give it 15 or 20 minutes and reveal your presence to the infant.
Hug her and let her know you missed her, however will always return when mommy goes. After you do this a couple of times and she gets used to the idea of you being gone for that brief quantity of time, try going to the shop for a longer amount of time. You can continue to stretch each trip up until you feel comfy with the time you are being gone, for example if you are attempting to develop to a night out of town with your significant other.
By taking things slowing, it will help you and your kid overcome toddler separation anxiety with much less tears, heartbreak and stress. The baby will continue to grow her independence from you and will soon like her brand-new discovered freedom of having playtime with dad, grandma or grandpa, or other unique friend.
Hang in there mother it will get better and understand other mamas are going through the same thing as you today.
Fellow Mom,
