Introduction
Separation anxiety is a normal phase of child development, beginning in the first year of life (6-12 mo) and peaking around 18 months.
- Separation anxiety that persists past 6 years of age, is generally pathological, or signifies a separation anxiety disorder
- Separation anxiety is distinct from the phenomenon of "stranger anxiety" which peaks in the first year of life, and generally resolves by 24 months.
