Separation anxiety
Topic: Pediatrics
The distress young children feel when separated from their parents, most marked in infancy and toddlerhood; hospitalization is one of its strongest triggers. It progresses through protest (loud crying, searching for the parent), despair (withdrawal, apathy) and detachment (superficial adjustment). Encourage parents to stay and take part in care, and keep home routines and favorite objects.
