5According to Denise Bothe, MD, a behavioral developmental pediatrics and psychology specialist at University Hospitals Rainbow Babies Children’s Hospital, separation anxiety is normal for a few years.

Children sometimes have trouble with changes linked to growing up. Common in infants and toddlers, separation anxiety usually decreases by age 2, when children naturally start to explore their independent side. However, it’s perfectly normal for children to continue seeking to be near their parents. This is the idea of attachment of a child to his or her parent. Some children have a “slow to warm up” temperament or personality and may have separation anxiety for longer. Starting school is a big step for children, and not wanting to separate from their parents at that time is common.
