Episode 57 - Lara Sando, Ph.D. - Is my child suffering from separation anxiety?

Why is my son throwing a tantrum? Why doesn't my daughter listen to me? Should I be concerned about my toddler's behavior, or is he just craving attention?

Young children are biologically programmed to remain in close proximity to their parents but how do children react to separation? How does anxiety impact the development and behavior of children? And what is a normal and healthy response to separation anxiety?

Child Psychologist Lara Sando, Ph.D., makes sense of the often bewildering behavior patterns of children aged 0 to 5. Insightful, educational, and funny, this episode is a must for any parent.

Dr. Sando practices psychology at the Providence Saint John’s Child and Family Development Center in Santa Monica California.

Thank you for listening!
