„De ce mă lași aici?” Cum arată anxietatea de separare la 3, 4, 5 și 6 ani

Separation anxiety evolves in children from ages 3 to 6, manifesting differently as they grow. At 3, children cling and cry when a parent leaves. By 4, they start negotiating, while at 5, they may express anxiety even before leaving home. At 6, they may not show overt distress but still seek reassurance about being picked up. The intensity of this anxiety can be influenced by various factors, and parents can help ease these transitions. As children develop, their understanding of separation changes, reflecting in their behavior and emotional responses.
