We go to the YMCA very regularly and they know him, he also did this at church, and we're there every week. The only situations he hasn't done this when we leave is when he is with my parents or my brother. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/separation-anxiety-as-a-two-year-old#post-1643181 Sun, 18 May 2014 18:36:43 +0000 looch 1643181@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son did this when I tried to use a drop off service. Was this the first time there for him? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/separation-anxiety-as-a-two-year-old#post-1643135 Sun, 18 May 2014 18:06:10 +0000 Mrs. Pen 1643135@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BoogieBea: haha one of the sunday school volunteers asked me today if I'm expecting another baby because that causes toddlers to become clingy lol! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/separation-anxiety-as-a-two-year-old#post-1642395 Sat, 17 May 2014 22:39:34 +0000 BoogieBea 1642395@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've experienced separation anxiety randomly with my kids. I'm not sure what causes it though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/separation-anxiety-as-a-two-year-old#post-1642388 Sat, 17 May 2014 22:31:53 +0000 doodlepoodle 1642388@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>J has be WAY super clingy this month, particularly in the mornings. We can't tell if it's because his teeth are hurting him and he's fussy or if it's because he wants us. He's pretty even when choosing either me or DH. Thankfully ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/separation-anxiety-as-a-two-year-old#post-1642377 Sat, 17 May 2014 22:25:10 +0000 bpcmarj 1642377@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have had several rough daycare drop offs lately where I literally have to unclasp her hand from my shirt while she is screaming for me. I get a text about 2 minutes later that she is fine everytime though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/separation-anxiety-as-a-two-year-old#post-1642369 Sat, 17 May 2014 22:05:37 +0000 Mrs. Pen 1642369@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jump Rope: When J realizes we're about to drop him off/leave him, he starts to do the sweetest hugs where he burrows his face in my neck and then smothers my face in kisses- to entice me to stay. He breaks my heart. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/separation-anxiety-as-a-two-year-old#post-1642288 Sat, 17 May 2014 21:13:15 +0000 regberadaisy 1642288@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>M. We haven't encounter it yet although we def hit a rocky one a few months back. But the other day all three of us were at Target and we were not allowed to separate for shopping! If she was with daddy she would yell mommy. If she was with me she would scream for daddy. The family must shop at Target together! LOL </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/separation-anxiety-as-a-two-year-old#post-1642272 Sat, 17 May 2014 21:01:18 +0000 rachiecakes 1642272@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>J has never been a clingy baby. He stills cries because he's mad that I'm there to pick him up from daycare, haha, he wants to stay and play with his friends!<br /> BUT on the weekends, if I want to go out and do something on my own he does cry for me more than usual. I think he's starting to get that I work all week and the weekends are our time together. And I do make a point to plan fun things for us to do. :( I went to the mall today with DH &amp; J and when DH left me to shop and take J to the indoor play space they have I could hear him the whole way down the hall "mama! maaaaamaaaa" :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/separation-anxiety-as-a-two-year-old#post-1642261 Sat, 17 May 2014 20:51:25 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 1642261@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup. The absolute worst is when she says, "no! No, please don't leave me!" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/separation-anxiety-as-a-two-year-old#post-1642250 Sat, 17 May 2014 20:45:04 +0000 Mrs. Pen 1642250@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>J went through the normal separation anxiety around a year old, maybe 15 months... but has been fine since until the last couple weeks. He clings like he never has and cries and cries. Today our local Y was doing a babysitting event so parents could have a night out, and he freaked out. We left, because he usually gets better once we leave, but the Y workers called us after an hour saying he was still crying! It was very unlike him.</p> <p>Anyone else go through another separation anxiety phase? </p>
