Question
My daughter started kindergarten in September. The teacher says she behaves well in school, but she cries and fusses when she gets home. Could this be separation anxiety? What should I do?
Answer
If a child is performing well in kindergarten, it indicates that they are functioning normally in various aspects. However, not wanting to leave and crying indicate a possible case of separation anxiety. It is recommended to spend more time with your child, consider having a stand-in to accompany them, and encourage independent sleep in a safe environment.
