Separation Anxiety

My son will be 2 in 2 weeks and he’s pretty clingy. He follows me everywhere and wants to be picked up when he’s being emotional but he also plays by himself for a good 10-20 minutes a couple times a day. Inside or outside when he’s bored of following me around 😅

My daughter doesn't have an issue until I start working and she realizes she can't get my complete attention 🙃 then she starts to cry 🫠 luckily some days are better than others...

Same 😣 I’ve been told it’s like this till they are 3

Is he okay with you guys leaving him with other people and then just follows those people around? Like if we leave him with my mom or my in-laws, he is okay, but if we're not there, and they leave the room, it's worse than one of us leaving the room at home. As far as when it's just us at home, he's just more clingy than he used to be. I used to be able to put on a movie and go take a 10+min shower (watching him on the camera) and he would let me be in there alone. Now, no matter what I do he just cries at the door and I have to just let him into the bathroom and he plays in the sink washing his hands while I finish my shower with less than ideal water pressure. I also used to be able to put on Kipper and do a little bit of chores or just get some quiet time, but now he wants me to sit on the couch and sit on my lap while he watches. But he will play independently at times, and likes to run around outside with me following from a distance or just sitting off to the side in the backyard.
