Do you have any children that go through some type of separation anxiety if you leave the building or area? Do they show any signs of fear because of this?

My children would cry when they were little but I solved that the same way I train my dogs. We would play a game where I would leave the room, tell them to stay there, say I would be back and when I could hear they began to worry I would come back in and say "I'm back!" and then pick them up and hug them. That way, they always knew I would return and never leave them for very long. We had very few incidents and I would always remind them that would never, ever leave them for very long. It works great with dogs and kids both!
