Separation anxiety in children is the developmental stage when a child suffers from anxiety from being separated from their primary caregiver. “Separation anxiety is characterized by the experience of marked distress when separation from the home or an attachment figure occurs, or perhaps is merely anticipated by a child.” (Altman, Sommer, & McGoey, 2009, para. 3). To help a child in this stages it’s important that I promote a healthy and safe environment. Offer fun activities that me and the child can do together.

Physical Development: Baby can do small movements such as turn their head. They sleep most of the time and this is why they are going to grow fast.

Babies grow very fast with rapid weight gain. Birthweight typically doubles by 4 month and triples in a year. Babies will grow more than a foot in height and reaches about 34 inches by the age of 2. This is half of the height of their adult age height.

Physical growth occurs from 0 to 18 years. This is from the time the baby is born to the time the baby matures. The child will grow according to the individual child and the different parts of its body; this also depends on the rate that the child will grow at throughout the years. The child may experience a ‘growth spurt’, which is when the body tends to grow at a much faster pace than the child’s usual growth rate. Parts of the body also grow quicker than other parts at different times. For example, usually a baby’s head is larger than the rest of the body when born. As the baby grows, the head becomes smaller in proportion to the rest of the body parts.

As the babies begin to recognise people around them this has an impact on their emotional development as they can become distressed when people are not around.

An infant normally will reach certain milestone like rolling over, sitting up, crawling and standing. While all children develop at different rates, parent may share the experience to each other when the milestone will be occurred. When parent realize infant is not reaching a milestone, parent should take attention to consult with pediatrician. As normal, most of the infant grow with the average speed. According to Dr. Jay Hoecker (2016), from birth to age 6 months, a baby may grow 1/2 to 1 inch (about 1.5 to 2.5 centimeters) a month and gain 5 to 7 ounces (about 140 to 200 grams) a week. Expect your baby to double his or her birth weight by about age 5 months. From ages 6 to 12 months, a baby may grow 3/8 inch (about 1 centimeter) a month and gain 3 to 5 ounces (about 85 to 140 grams) a week. Expect your baby to triple his or her birth weight by about age 1 year. So parents may discuss on the weight gain of infant whether is in a standard range. Then, parent may concern each other, perhaps make a short trip with other parent to relax mind. After relaxing, parent may more energize to take care of their

Throughout a newborn's lifetime, they will go through processes of development. The developmental stages will lead to the development of the infant's future self. A growth in an infant is relative to the increase in size and weight. Therefore

Infancy, is referred to the period of development of a child before the motor skills are developed enough to allow movement at will, it is a span of time that varies from birth to 1 years of age, in which a child sees the fastest rate of growth during its life. The term infancy is derived from the Latin word “infantia” which means unable to talk. It is at this crucial stage of development that we as humans undergo a series of major changes, ranging from physical to emotional. It is estimated that within the first year of life infants will triple their weight, (D. Hutchison, Dimensions of Human Behavior) for the first months of life an infant copes with the outside world by a series of involuntary reflexes such as grasping and suckling, such

Separation Anxiety (DSM-IV-TR code 309.21) is a disorder that occurs during infancy and childhood. The anxiety must be present for 4 months before the age of 18 and cause distress to the child’s daily life. Separation Anxiety diagnosed in children of the ages 6 and younger is early onset.
