[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can’t be pinpointed?? Imagine if your mom took care of him and then died at the end of the school year. You’d expect this exact reaction- clingy, emotional, accidents. That’s essentially what happened to him. I think your reaction was way off base. He needs love and time and probably distraction.

But this was not his Grandmother.  This was not family.

Since he turned 4 he was in full time preschool and Kindergarten and spent maybe 25 hours a week with her tops.  Mornings and afternoons and some weekends so he was already transitioning away from her anyways.[/quote]

25 hours a week is a LOT! How much time did he spend with you before you pulled him out of everything?

If this is anxiety, you’re feeding it by reinforcing that he can’t handle scary things - at all or without you. Instead, empathize with his feelings and support him in learning how to work through his fears to do normal, healthy, age appropriate activities.

What’s your plan for when school starts in a few weeks?[/quote]
