“With students everywhere returning to school, families are reminded just how big transitions can feel—for both children and parents…

One of the most common challenges children experience during times of change is separation anxiety. While it’s most visible at school drop-offs, separation anxiety can arise in many different contexts. The good news is that with patience, consistency, and support, children can build resilience and confidence in navigating new experiences.”

Today on the blog, Cascade based therapist Kristi Kinzler, MA, LPC offers some reflections and practical tips on how to navigate separation anxiety and transitions for both kids and parents alike!
