Separation anxiety isn’t just something babies go through when they move into their own bed or a Toddler crying at Nursery drop-off— it’s something so many of our children experience during and after divorce… and barely anyone talks about it.
In this episode, we’re unpacking what separation anxiety really looks like in children when they’re forced to say goodbye to their safe parent — even temporarily. From clinginess and meltdowns to regression and tummy aches, we dive into the signs, the root causes, and most importantly… how you can support your child through it with compassion and confidence.
If handovers leave your child in tears — or if reunions are full of emotional chaos — this episode will help you feel less alone and more empowered to be their calm in the storm.
You’ll learn:
• What separation anxiety really is (and what it’s not)
• Why divorce triggers it so strongly in children
• 5 practical ways to help your child feel safe and secure — even when you’re apart
• What not to say or do, even with the best intentions
This is for every mama who’s ever cried in the car after drop-off. You’re not failing — you’re their anchor. Let’s talk about it....
