My son is 18 months old but was born 6 weeks early, He is extremely clingy. He get so emotional that when I'm with him I cannot put him down., and If I do he will just scream and hang on my leg and cry. He isn't like this with anyone else even his dad just me. Any Ideas how to help him and me?

He is at an age for separation anxiety that is very typical and object permanence. My daughter is like that some times at daycare and the next day is fine. I will agree that is rough on certain days.

He might just miss you then. I used to work at day care (for 10 years ) I suggest not taking to day care. Its stressful for them and to do it when he has a loving grandma to watch him is just silly. Its germ infested and they have a ratio (like 4 toddlers to every 1 adult) so he wont get extra love. It is just a phase try to give him cuddles when you are home and it will pass with age.

Thank you for the help, He goes to his gramma's house usually 2-3 days a week while I'm at work. He is great when we get there but when I cme to ge him he is immediatly stuck to me and starts crying and gets almost hysterical when I have to put him down.

My daughter is 16months old, And the same in a way, She will play with other people till I walk out of the room then all hell breaks loose, She is in daycare one day a week, Fair enouf=gh, She cries when I leave but after a while she will eventually stop crying & go play with the other kids, Sometimes You gotta be cruel to be kind, Good luck with it xx

I went throught that with my second son (now 12 years) as he was very sick as a baby so was constantly by my side. I tried lots of things like leaving him with a firend for an hour or so at a time it was REALLY hard as he was miserable and only seemed to help a little so in the end at almost 2 years old I enrolled him for two mornings a week at a daycare. It took a couple of months for him to stop screaming when I left but after the first few times he was always happy when when I went back to get him and the staff were really good as they are generally trained on how to deal with separation anxieties in children.
