There are times when we need to leave our kids for a bit: we have to go to work, we have to go to the grocery store, we have to take a shower...at different times in the toddler years, this can make a child nervous. While they might understand you aren't leaving forever, you being gone for even a little bit can feel like too much for them. Creating a routine with your toddler, developing a calm and simple way of explaining where and why you are going and then reminding your toddler you will be back can make the situation move from chaos to manageable in their minds.
Parents, understand that we all go through this stage. It is hard for both the kids and the parents. Its tiresome. Its frustrating. Its sad. It will get better and you will both survive...but its tough.
