For example, instead of hiring a different babysitter every time they go out, parents should try to enlist the services of perhaps one or two sitters, so their children have the opportunity to get used to and develop friendships with the people who are hired to care for them. Provide transitional objects. Transitional objects are things that children often use to cope with separation. Such objects, for example a teddy bear, a doll, or a favorite blanket, provide comfort to children when they are separated from their primary caregivers. Many children become attached to such objects, especially at times of separation, for example bedtime.
Transitional objects can be quite a comfort to children experiencing some form of separation.
Don't ignore your child's distress. The upset that children feel when they must be separated from their parents is real. Therefore, this distress should not be shrugged off or ignored by parents. Ignoring this distress can provoke more anxiety and will probably increase clinginess and distress. Instead, parents should, without making too big a deal out of it, address the upset.
