Question
Our 5 year old shows signs of anxiety, and especially separation anxiety.
It started when he was two, we moved 5 homes in 6 months (transitioning from the mission field)
Bedtimes can be terrible for him. Usually he expresses fear, but tonight he said that he feels lonely. We warned him if he came out of his room again he would get a spanking, which he did, but I want to make sure that we aren’t causing more harm if he is in fact feeling lonely. What do you suggest here?
