Why do Kids have separation anxiety, And how do you get rid of it?
ByMy sister is 10. Se has a terrible separation anxiety. She cries at school cause shes not with my mom. The nervous breakdowns are really annoying. PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!
Hi, I'm almost seventeen; don't judge me.
I can relate to that because I had and currently have some anxiety issues myself. It's difficult to get rid of it because it's an emotion that can't be corrected immediately. I'm sorry to hear that your sister is going through a hard time!
In my perspective the reason why children or anybody has these anxieties attacks, well there's an answer to each circumstance. However, I believe the reason why your sister is having them because she is a very "Worried Person". She feels attach to your mother because perhaps your mother is making her feel good about her self esteem. When she's not with your mother perhaps kids are making fun of her and she clings on to your mother because she feels "emotionally safe". I had the same issue when I was younger!
My advice to you is to see what's bothering her. Anxiety is caused when something is bothering a person emotionally. The best thing to do is to try to see what the problem is with your sister and try to help her through it. That's the only way the anxiety will go down, however it never really goes away 100%. Talk to her and try your best to help her through her problem.
Best Of Luck Always!!!

something is definitely wrong. you should examine the relationship between your sister and your mother. perhaps your mom wants her to be totally dependent on her so she can feel needed/loved. is your father in the picture? either way, family therapy would be very helpful in sorting out what’s going on and getting your sister to see herself as a big girl who can get through the day without her mommy.
