What to do when every time a toddler in you care cries her lunges out when you walk in to another room. If you are out of sight, even in the same room, she will cry. How do you handle that?

I've had a couple little ones like this that would cry whenever I left the room or if my assistant had to help them because I was busy with another child. What I would do at first is let them come with me if it wasn't a big deal. Like if I was cleaning up snack I would let them help carry the dishes to the kitchen or something like that. But I know that's not always an option and in those cases I would tell them "I will be right back" and then I would leave (the trick is to not linger) and I would try not to be gone for more than five minutes. When I came back I would say something like "See I promised I would come back and I did." after a while I would stay gone for longer and longer periods of time (They were never alone though. I had an assistant and one of us was with them at all times.) After two months or less, depending on the child, it wasn't an issue. -
We had one dcg that was like that. We just tried not to give it any extra attention when she was crying but made sure she got a lot of love when she was not acting up. Usually it is just a phase they go through but if it is a real concern and lasts long, then talk to the parents and see if the parent's can clue you in on any changes going on.Comment
