Ansiedade da Separação ou Separation Anxiety:
Infelizmente, aqui no Brasil não se fala muito da "Ansiedade de Separação". Mas é uma situação complicada que acontece com muitos pais e que, por não saberem o quê é perdem a paciência com seus filhos e eles acabam ficando mais tristes ainda. Especialistas dizem que esta fase acontece especialmente quando o bebê percebe que não é mais tão dependente de vc e que não é uma parte de vc, mas sim um ser desprendido, separado, independente. Ele entra numa crise e chora e reclama quase que o dia inteiro, só quer saber de colo e deixa os pais muito cansados física e mentalmente. Mas temos que ter paciência e compreensão, pois ele está com medo de ser deixado. Nessa hora temos que dar muito amor, colo e mostrar que estaremos sempre pertinho deles... Luca passou por isso, mas eu passei muita segurança para ele e agora ele está bem tranquilo e curtindo (até demais) o desprendimento dele.
O que é?
É normal que crianças em idade pré-escolar ou que ainda estão aprendendo a andar mostrem algum grau de ansiedade de separação em relação a quem estão ligadas (pais ou responsáveis)

Do all babies experience separation anxiety?
Yes, to a degree. At certain stages, most babies or toddlers will show true anxiety and be upset at the prospect — or reality — of being separated from a parent. If you think about separation anxiety in evolutionary terms, it makes sense: A defenseless baby would naturally get upset at being separated from the person who protects and cares for him.
In many ways, attitudes about babies and separations are cultural. Western countries tend to stress autonomy from a very early age. But in many other cultures, infants are rarely separated from their mother in the first year of life.
Regardless of the origins of this normal developmental stage, it's frustrating for babies and parents. The good news is that separation anxiety will pass and there are ways to make it more manageable. And in the meantime, enjoy the sweetness of knowing that to your child, you're number one.

When does it most commonly occur?
Babies can show signs of separation anxiety as early as 6 or 7 months, but the crisis age for most babies is between 12 to 18 months. Most commonly, separation anxiety strikes when you or your spouse leaves your child to go to work or run an errand. Babies can also experience separation anxiety at night, safely tucked in their cribs with Mom and Dad in the next room.
How can I help my baby through it?
Several options are available to parents:
Option I
Minimize separations as much as possible and take your baby along if he seems to feel anxious. With this option, you're basically waiting for your baby to outgrow this stage.
Option II
If you have to leave your baby — for example, to return to work — try leaving him with people who are familiar, like his father, grandmother, or aunt. Your baby may still protest, but he might adjust more easily to your absence when surrounded by well-known faces.
Option III
If you need to leave your child with someone he doesn't know, give him a chance to get to know his caregiver while you're still around.
