Separation Anxiety

J is turning out to be a textbook model of separation anxiety.

Read an article on BellyBelly today.

Was relieved to be told that:

• Picking J every time she cries won't spoil her. On the contrary, it will help her feel less grizzly.
• The more I carry, cuddle and interact with her, the more comforted and secure she will learn to be.
• This clinginess is a phase she's going through. Once she's learnt to form a secure attachment, she'll be off and running on her own.

It's amazing how much I'm having to relearn stuff from when Beth was the same age.
