When Goodbye is Too Hard
When Goodbyes Feel Overwhelming for Your Child and for You
Join Dr. Vanessa for an hour of expert insight, real-life Q&A, and practical tools to make goodbyes easier for you and your child.
Evidence-Based Tools for Separation Struggles
You’ve probably felt it before. That sudden ache in your chest when your child’s eyes brim with tears at daycare drop-off. The way their little hand grips your arm so tightly you can’t move. The sound of their cries as you walk away, still ringing in your ears long after you’re out the door.
You want to scoop them up and make it all better. At the same time, you know they need to learn they’re safe, even when you’re not right there beside them.
This one-hour, on-demand webinar will give you the insight and practical steps to guide your child through separation anxiety with kindness and confidence. You’ll know how to make goodbyes gentler, and how to help your child feel secure enough to face those moments without fear.
