Separation anxiety 9mos old

[Momof4]

Shut the baby gate and go do what you have to do. That's what happens here. I can see them and HEAR them and they are safe and they are learning that they do not always get their way. That is something toddlers must learn.

I have a boy is FOUR AND A HALF who puts on an Oscar winning performance for his mother every morning at dropoff and I want to vomit! Good grief, the way he plays his mother and she falls for it all the time is really pathetic. She isn't doing her son any favours. But that's just my opinion of course.

But as soon as she is gone he shapes up into the wonderful, well-behaved little boy that I know he can be and he knows that is exactly what I expect from him.

YES!!! Start em young lol. With my son, I noticed he started manipulating me around 7 months. Nine months is pretty young, but it's old enough to know ACTION and REACTION.
