OH has said a couple of comments recently that our LB has serious attachment issues and we need to nip this in the bud. I don't know if it's true or what can do to try reduce it.
If I was to pop out to the shops LB will have a complete meltdown about not coming with me, "I will miss you" etc. I always reassure him that I will be back and give him an idea of something to do, e.g play X with daddy. He will cry a lot but then maybe after 5 mins he does calm down and he's fine. He is the same when his Nanna looks after him and I have to go to work, and sometimes when I drop him off at school. Is this an attachment issue or something about separation anxiety maybe, how can I help him manage this. He's 4 years old.

Whenever we go somewhere fun and there is rides he has to do them with his daddy refuses to go on them with me. His Nanna has looked after him 2 days a week since he was one and he adores her, gone there for sleepovers been away on holiday with her. It seems to have been more of an issue once I have gone back to work from maternity after my second baby, so I was his main carer whilst off and since gone back to work have been working from home a lot more. I wondered if it might be connected to that possibly.
