| Is he the only child or does he have another child to play with? That worked when my daughter went through that stage. Sorry, I don't really know what to tell you. It is a stage, try to stay patient and pray about it:) |

| I go through this and it is b/c he has spent 90% of his time with me. I can't even go to the bathroom without him screaming. Unfortunately, I have gotten to the point where I just let him cry. When I come back i just tell him, "I will will always come back, I will Never leave you for long. The length of time is getting lower and lower. I feel eventually,he will stop. He is 19months.. |

| My daughter is one as well and I have the exact same situation. Even if I go into the kitchen, which is right next to the family room where she is and from where she can even SEE me in the kitchen, she will start to scream and wail--sometimes blood curdling screams. A child psychologist I know suggested to first explain calmly what you're doing and that you'll only be X amount of time before you can play again, and then continue to go about your business. If that doesn't work and the child continues to scream uncontrollably for more than 15 minutes or so, she suggested putting her in the crib for a time-out to self soothe and get centered again. Not to put her in the crib in an angry way, but rather, in a loving, calm way, while again, explaining that you will get her soon when she calms down. At first, this didn't really work and my daughter continued to scream, but after a few times, it only took her 5 minutes or so to calm down and then I would get her as soon as I was finished with whatever I was doing. Also, after those few times, if I went into the kitchen again, she would just follow me there but not scream and wail. It's almost as if she now understands that in that moment, mommy is busy, but will be back to play soon, and so she now occupies herself for those few minutes while I'm occupied. I also believe she has gained mastery and confidence, knowing that she can self-soothe and find something to do while I'm not available, which is always a good thing in the short and long term anyway. Hope this helps. |
