I have a little boy who has been with me for almost 6 months. Initially, he had TERRIBLE seperation anxiety. It took maybe a month, but slowly he got to a point where he would get here and he would shut the door on mom and dad. He still panicked a bit when they came to get him, afraid they would leave again, but he's been great. Mom is pregnant, due in October, I don't know if that has anything to do with it.

Anyways, last week, in the mornings at drop off, he would freak out. Initially, I did what i usually do when he cries for no reason because I thought he just wanted attention because it had been so long since he'd done it. It wasn't until probably Thursday where I realized there was a problem. He did it again this morning.

We've been having some napping issues, and frustrations, which is something I've talked to mom and dad about because it was their "fault" he wasn't napping properly. Anyways, different thing entirely, I'm not sure if that has anything to do with it.

I don't understand why he's doing it suddenly, and mom and dad tend to prolong saying goodbye because they feel bad. Normally, I would usher them out the door so as not to prolong the "suffering" but because this is a new thing and sort of came out of the blue, I let them take the additional time for cuddles. When they leave, he cries for about 5-10 minutes. I hold him for a bit but when I hold him when he's like that, and someone comes over to us and touches us, he flips out even more. So, after a few minutes, I'll put him on the couch and let him cry there while the rest of us carry on. Eventually, he gets up and goes to play like nothing happened.

I don't know why he's doing it and I don't know what to do about it. I'm afraid that they will think there is something going on here. Any suggestions?
