How do I feel about my childs separation anxiety? Honestly, its absolutely one of the most delightful feelings I really enjoy as a mom. I remember when my son was between 8-9 months old. Just like every mother, I couldnt forget those moments. At that time, he often asked for more attention from me rather than from anybody in the house. No matter where he was or who was holding him, as soon as he saw me, he suddenly cried as if he was asking me to hold him. When I came close to him, he abruptly opened his arms and looked so happy. His cry stopped in a moment. It was truly an unspoken feeling I had experienced. But there was also time when he acted differently from what I had expected.

Eat and drink a lot, okay? And have a good nap. Ill be back. Love you much. Bubye. Sometimes he kept looking at me when I said so. I expected him to start weeping. But it didnt happen. I wondered why. I found out later that he was interested with the wheels of the car I traveled in everyday. Whenever the car started to run, my...more
