What is separation anxiety? According to Na Lina, this refers to the separation of minors from the main caregivers who have close relationships. Some emotional reactions that exceed normal levels, such as anxiety. In fact, separation anxiety may appear from infancy, and it is especially obvious for preschoolers, especially those who are about to enter the first grade. "Because of the child itself.

"This is actually a normal natural reaction of human beings, but because children are very young and can't express them in a rational way, they can only use crying to hope that someone will pay attention to and protect him. At this time, it is very important to give some support and comfort." Na Lina said that you can start exercise from small steps, "For example, first make clear with the child, leave for a few minutes and come back immediately, and then let the child see that you are really back at the time you said. Gradually increase the time again and again, then the child will slow down. The reaction of slow separation will be weakened.”
Nalina emphasized that it is useless to punish children with separation anxiety. “We should use positive reinforcement . For example, 9 out of 10 separations, the child cries and only one does not cry, then the parents can pick which one to praise him and encourage him.” Na Lina said, in fact, the child The adaptability is very strong, and most children can quickly integrate into the environment. "So sometimes parents feel that their children can't do without themselves. In fact, when the parents are particularly nervous about this matter, the children will feel this reaction, so his emotions are not easy to stabilize."
The child is anxious The essence of this comes from the fact that they have no sense of control over the unknown environment. They are nervous because they don’t know what will happen, so they imagine that they must not be able to adapt, and even feel that something bad will happen. Na Lina said that as a parent, you can talk to your children in advance about what you do in kindergarten and elementary school. "Watch some videos and visit the kindergarten or elementary school in advance if possible. Give your children a more intuitive experience. It will alleviate the anxiety in the heart." Na Lina said that on the eve of entering kindergarten and school, it is also essential for parents to help their children adjust their schedules.
