Try to stay busy while you are away. Just remember, it is only temporary. You can stay in touch with them by writing, calling and tell them to do the same. Once you get past the greiving period, it won't be so hard then. Just keep your mind busy doing something. Maybe a part time job, reading good books, or make new friends. Alot of people at school will probably be going through the same thing. Best of luck to you.

Separation is never easy.. especialy when it comes to family.. well hear is my advise... Take pictures of all the things yall do together... when you get to your dorm room... decorate it so that you can feel more at home.. and don't forget to call, and write...

Don't sneak off on her - ever. This may make it easier for *you*, as you don't have to hear her scream when you leave, but it will make her even less trusting of the fact that you'll come back. Give her lots of cuddles and explain where you're going, when you'll be back, etc. Give her even more cuddles when you do get back. She just needs to be reassured that you aren't going to leave her forever.

My son is going through the same thing. He started it at about 8 months. It was the Sunday before Thanksgiving and he had an ear infection and after that he has been freaking out when I go to the bathroom. So now during the day I let him play in his room with me watching him from the couch and he is getting better day by day. He is now a week away from being 9 months old.

If she's sick, that probably has something to do with the new intensity. She really needs all the love and cuddles she can get if she doesn't feel very well. I know it's so hard when your baby is sick, but just do your best to keep her comfortable. She doesn't know why her body feels so terrible and will want your comforting presence.

You just need to teach him that when you leave, you'll be coming back! What I suggest is SEVERAL times a day, go out the door, shut it, stand outside for just a few seconds and then come back in and give him all sorts of love. Do that over and over, extending the time that you're gone when he makes improvement. Eventually he'll realize you're coming back, and wean off his anxiety. Will be a slow process.. but it just means that he really loves you. '¥

give him treats and tell him that it will all be okay, and comfort him. thats all i have, sorry.
